Ok, is kind of unclear in the video. But I’m going to try and demonstrate my thinking. After the retorque the valve stem was leaking, we have to assume the tire deflated to bellow 50% proper inflation pressure. This could cause two things. 1. Depending on the size,ground conditions, temperature of the mine it could have caused a run flat situation. Which if the outer tire was deflated to 50% would put great strain on the inner tire. Assuming he removed 9 out of the 12 clamps, a rapid deflation blow out of the inner rim assembly and would break the studs and send the rim and tire assembly flying. 2. It could have un-set the hardware of the inner tire, causing a blow out. I’m assuming since this took place in 2004 that they aren’t running speed wheels, so I would assume that the inner lock ring either heat warped,cracked or bent. When he took the load off the clamps it could have jolted the flange/hardware assembly and let the lock ring blow out. In turn letting a rapid deflation incident. Sorry that was long and winded. lol, if you have any more questions i would love to answer them.
I don't understand what caused the explosion
I don’t either
