As an interesting side note the video commented that the driver did not apply his brakes. After seeing this for the first time I started doing some research. Studies have indicated that with a blowout especially on the front tire, DO NOT APPLY YOUR BRAKES first thing. Instead accelerate slightly to shift the forces to the back, stabilize your coach then very slowly decelerate until you can safely pull over. Very counter intuitive! But check it out for yourself and run it over in your thoughts.
