STL - AFTER TAKEOFF FROM CLT, CAPTAIN REPORTED POSSIBLE NOSE TIRE DAMAGE ON ROTATION DUE TO SHIMMY EXPERIENCED.  CREW REPORTED, THAT AS THEY ROTATED THE AIRCRAFT BEHIND THEM SAW DEBRIS, POSSIBLY FROM US.  A RADIO PATCH WITH DISPATCHER, MOC AND THE CAPTAIN WAS ESTABLISHED TO DISCUSS THE SITUATION.  AS AIRCRAFT APPROACHED STL, CAPTAIN REQUESTED A TOWER FLYBY.  THE FLYBY SHOWED NO OBVIOUS DAMAGE AND THE FLIGHT WENT AROUND AND LANDED ON THE SECOND PASS.
