According to a rough translation fron Dutch into English of the official Dutch Accident Report:
"During take-off of the aircraft, on runway 36L" [at Amsterdam-Schipol Airport] the two rear tires are off the left hull landing gear burst causing damage to the rims and one of the front tires. The control system was replaced by pieces of tire and broken rim parts damaged the flaps and parts of the fuselage of the aircraft.
As a result of the damage the flap control system created a flap asymmetry and a roll moment. The crew discharged fuel and returned to airport. During the landing on runway 06, the other front tire of the left fuselage landing gear has jumped. Because with the flange of the rims of the left fuselage landing gear has driven over the runways, these are both
seriously damaged".
