    What a stupid, sensless waste of life. Poor, poor woman :(

    What a crazy accident, never heard of a car tire doing that!

    Condolences to her family and colleagues.

    (Without detracting from what was a needless loss of life, does anyone have a clue what might make a tire blow out so violently? Faulty run flat system maybe?? - madflags)

    Damaged tyre as it says in the article

    A sadly bizarre way to go.

    Sad thing to happen to the poor woman and her husband, both serving their country and trying to get a little R&R. A nightmare for the poor husband being there and seeing it.

    I have heard of this sort of thing with big truck tires but never for a car tire.
