Delta Airlines MD-88 [N957DL] Landed with a Broken Right Main Tire

The story of this flight is we took off from DTW and we were inbound to MSN. As we had a hard landing with the right mains slamming down first, we kept the reverse thrust on until almost dead stopped. We pulled off the taxi way and the capt made the announcement telling us there was something wrong with the right main tire and he didn't think it was a big deal at the time. After I shut off the camera, it turned out we ended up landing pretty hard on the right side it created an air leak and eventually went flat.I reviewed this video and you can't really hear the impact of the tire. We heard much more that my camera didn't pick up. Plus we could feel a lot of drag from something else beside the reverse thrust and manual braking. At the time obviously, we didn't know what it was.
