Blow out

I had a front blowout once. Early morning leaving the yard, pulled out onto the highway. Coffee in hand. Just got up to speed and went to light a cigarette. BOOM! luckily it was early and no 4 wheelers on the road as i went careening across the lane beside me. One of the nitwit mechanics either didn't realize or didn't care, put a tire with a sidewall repair on the front. Dumbass.

How long did it take you to dislodge the seat that got sucked up in the pucker?

It took a while to get dislodged. I was fortunate that the shoulder was to my right and noone was also using it.
Wow, jus wow... like old recaps on a steer axle.

It does look like a recap don't it. That tire was original to the truck 2018~. 122000 miles on it.
 
I now have the dash cam footage. I want to post it but should hold off for now.
