But I take it as like some ppl up there said, drum brake overheated and exploded. But this has got to do with circuitry right, as in electrically speaking, cause there is no really sense in the fact that the brakes just overheat and boom, normally there would be fire...
And for tires to exploded, only in movies lah, even if a nail goes up all will happen is a slow deplete of gas and the wheels go flat.
Actually , tires CAN explode ! This condition is known as tire blowout . But it is often caused by super worn out tires or damaged tires . Over inflated tires also can cuz it to explode .
last time went to Malaysia , i've seen 2 things that involves tires . First one i saw is the tire actually caught fire . The whole tire was in flames .
Another was a tire blowout . The tire on the trailer actually exploded and fragments of the tire lay on the road . A tire mechanic was seen assisting the truck and trailer .
2 videos shows what can happen if a tire blows out , but at high speed :
