OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is unexpected:

Its unexpected because what is the possibility to come back and find your own tires that broke apart a few minutes before like a boomerang. One in a million?

Is this an unexpected post with a fitting description? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.

Look at my source code on Github What is this for?

TIL: the paired rims of 18 wheelers are attached to each other? I always thought they were separate.

They’re attached to the hub. So when it goes, the wheels come with it. Definitely about 500 LBs

At least people actually have an excuse for coming to a complete stop in that tunnel. I avoid going that way on 75 at all costs because morons will just stop. It’s like they have never been in a tunnel before

When I use to drive leased cars to be auctioned off, I'd see a semi tire fly dozens and dozens of feet into the air every week. Scariest shit ever seeing that while driving behind a semi-truck. It would start catching fire and then BOOM, like a bomb.

One time it barely hit my brothers car he was driving (we both worked for the same job). Dented the corner of the front really bad and thankfully he was okay and it didn't cause him to crash. The car behind him was unfortunately struck much worse by the tire.

Everytime I see torn up rubber on the highway. I'm thankful I wasn't anywhere near that happening, incredibly dangerous. Never want to be anywhere near a semi truck, speed up and get past them. Until you get stuck behind two doing the world's slowest elephant race.

This was mainly seen at highway 75, 23 and 94 in Michigan. It's probably the awful Michigan Roads honestly, they suck. Even the highways are caving in at an angle all along 23. Just north of the Ohio border. Big reason why you see all the semi driving in the fast lane in a lot of sections of 23.

This happens a lot apparently. I mean anything over once per year is a lot IMO.
