Class A Tire Blow and Roll-over
I am sure this is old and has been posted before but made me wonder.... How much did the driver's actions play into the final outcome? Link to YouTube video

I can't find it now, but I read the article about that roll-over, and the couple were elderly and walked away with minor injuries. The Driver said it caught him completely off guard. The article also credited the cable barrier for preventing him from crossing into oncoming traffic.
Saw this video about how to handle a blowout - All good info, but I honestly don't think I would automatically react the way they recommend.

Don't know about the article you read but the cable barriers DID NOT prevent him from crossing in to oncoming traffic. If you click on my link above you will see that the coach ended up on it's side, with the truck, and it had slid all of the way across the oncoming lanes and stopped in the curb lane. It was fortunate that there was no traffic in the opposite direction at the time when the RV was sliding over.
