Around that same time (years back), I was getting ready for a bicycle race and had to change the inner tube in one of my tires. I took it to a gas station to fill it with air because all I had with me was a small pump that would take forever. I guess I didn't have the tire seated properly, with the tube pinched between the rim and the tire bead, so as I filled it the inner tube was able to expand unrestrained through the gap until it failed. That was the first time I heard a 100 psi tire blow out; it was similar to a gunshot. I walked the bike away, resigned to filling the next inner tube via hand pump.
I passed the gas station again several minutes later and saw two police officers looking around. I didn't stop to chat...
