Did you see it til the end? The driver miraculously emerges with a god damn cell on his head.

No, did you skip over to the end?, that's the bus driver walking back after checking out the wreck.. Also note the car that JUST squeaked by before the bus hit the rail!.

I am not so sure that was a 'normal' blowout. Look at the 30 sec mark and it appears that some pretty significant debris is in the road and the car drives over it and it actually pops the car off the ground and causes the blowout.

I really don't think the driver lived. I mean the bus looks like it rammed right into the roof when the car goes in front of him. Road hoagie. Get the shovel.

Was there a blowout? The tires look fine as the car is flipping over.

Yeah it looks like the car only hit a big piece of debris on the road, and it caused the back end of the car to hop, and the driver didn't react and the car just careened across the roadway.

Yep, it's unclear if the tire itself blew out but in any event driver should have swerved to maybe avoid it. Sun's angle sometimes makes it hard to see thou..

Questionable if the driver even survived the guard rail impact, the car didn't lose much, if any speed before impact..

Yea and it almost looks like the driver was trying to avoid the objects (he is straddling lanes) but ended up making it worse by driving right over the largest of the objects.

Yes, there was some serious debris that blew the rear right tire of the car. I'm still not sure the car should have lost control completely like that. Would losing completely traction on the right make you veer off to that side? Hmm..
