Most sad, and ironically I think they would've been safer if it had exploded while still fitted to the car.

I've seen the damage an exploding car tyre can do, but I've never heard of one doing it "off the car" ... I suppose the clue is in the fact it was changed due to a "bulge" .. ie weakness or damage .. and I'm guessing they didn't deflate it ... (hindsight being wonderful :( ) ... and possibly the heat from being in the car caused the pressure to rise enough to .......   :(

Very very sad .. :(
