Blow front tire, what do you do?
If you saw the video last week of the Class A blowing a tire and going off the road. I'd like to hear what is the right way to react. I've heard don't use your breaks, what's the answer?

If you have ABS using the brakes in icy conditions is not a problem as you maintain steering. Basically the main function of ABS.
Yep, that all seems fine with all tires still inflated. When you blow a front tire, the coach wants to steer in the direction of the blown tire and no amount of ABS is going to overcome the basic laws of physics.
Of course there is always a good chance of the shredding front tire taking out the ABS sensor wiring and you losing your ABS braking.
Use the accelerator and keep off of the brakes and you stand a better chance of survival with a blown tire.
