EK 211 take off aborted!

Long time lurker- first time poster!

Flying in J on EK 211 form DXB to IAH on August 8th and take off was aborted apparently due to ?flat tire. Everyone was deplaned and currently sitting in the lounge- ETD now 1600 hrs. While deplaning noticed that all 12 tires in the rear landing gear were flat- not sure if the emergency abort had anything to do with it. Very professional crew- kept everyone informed and calm, promptly deplaned within 20 min and informed of rescheduled time 40 min after deplaning.

By the way, thanks to all the posters for all the valuable info here in the forums!
