When I was a kid I remember my Dad had a blowout while we were riding in our 59 Pontiac Star Chief. It happened on a highway that passed directly in front of an old Army-Navy surplus store. When he had the tire removed he found out he'd run over a 30.06 live round that went through the tread bullet first, the primer activated and the round richocheted around the rim. Fortunately rounds detonated like that don't have enough energy to pierce the rim, but it was certainly scary to think of the possibilities.
