Narrative:
On takeoff roll, left inboard tire failed, causing FOD to the #1 engine. Takeoff rejected in accordance with company's pilot operating handbook. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the first officer called the abort. The engine fail light illuminated a couple of KTS before V1, at approximately 125 KTS. This reporter states that this type of situation is a double-edged sword since you either don't have all the braking action with an abort, or you take off with a failed engine. Reporter has heard of 3 like accidents in which the tires were ingested into the engine, also. The #1 engine was destroyed.
