Oh lord, typical media hype.

It was a tire fire likely caused by either running on a flat dual or the brakes getting hot. The inflated tire burst.


***Yes, a burning, hollow rubber disk that is pressurized with a gas (NOT GASOLINE!!! I mean one of the three states of matter--air contains GASES) will explode.

These people should be lined up and stoned.
