Yes folks, a rapid deflation is a scary thing, and the truck was rather difficult to maintain directional stability. However, I'm very grateful the tyre didn't blow apart instead of just go flat. I fear that would have been much, much worse to control.
I had forgotten to say I found the cause of the flat. A round disk approx 1 & 1/2" across, bent in such a way that would rival a caltrop. I'm hoping the tyre damage is repairable. Wouldn't put money on that.
