Travel at Your Own Risk?
My colleagues were travelling back to Khartoum after they have gone down south to our project sites. On the way back last Friday, their Mitsubishi Pajero came to a stop as back tyre gave up on them.
Good thing that their vehicle was not travelling fast.
The tyre actually burst on the impact of a metal bracket that was holding the mud flap. The metal bracket was loose without their knowledge and it was grazing on the tyre throughout their journey. At some point, it went "BANG!!".
This is how it looks like. The tyre burst on few spots and their car actually wobbled before the driver managed to bring it to a complete stop, safely.Just look at the tyre thread that was shredded pieces (at the bottom of the picture).
Were you guys awake for the rest of the journey?

My Gosh! Are those guys sleeping throughout the journey including the driver? Are they so numb that they didn't feel anything? Lucky they are safe.
