Some should take a closer look at the video before declaring wrong doing by the driver. There is no way anyone is going to decide speed, what he/she did wrong, or right, without a traffic scene investigation by State Troopers.
I don't think I would run out and buy steering products either after watching this crash. First, the tire didn't just blow, but shredded immediately (you can see the tire (gator) come out from under the coach immediately after the blowout. This means he/she dropped down onto the rim. He/she did a pretty good job of controlling the coach until they hit the center divider which was soft grass. The rim, with very little tire left, (look at photo at end of wreck-left front tire)most likely dug into the soft surface.
No steering device on earth would have saved them in this crash.
