Thank God I'm alive, messing around with another car on the freeway I had a right front blowout in 4th gear at about 130mph. Talk about shitting your pants!!!

Unfortunately I tore up the rim,inner fender,brake lines,strut...maybe more will find out tomorrow, but hey I'm alive!!

almost looks like something tore the tire apart from the frame side. like the tires were rubbing against something, swaybar or liner maybe? i'm close to that on my notch
 
I had something similar happen except I was only doing about 90. It definitely scares the shit out of you. Glad you're ok man!
 
Sounds like you got lucky there. Is the rim junk or just cosmetic? If it's cosmetic, it'll make a nice spare. If it's trashed, it'll make a nice air hose reel.
 
holy shitballs batman. tire looked to of seen better days though. I had a similiar experience doing about 130ish had a slow car merge into the fast lane on the expressway so I had the use the grassy median as my road. thought for sure I was done for..
 
The tire was a Toyo Proxie, it had some uneven wear on the inside edge but I had completely forgot about it. The rim is pretty chewed up so I will make it a spare or something.

Odd, mine was the same thing, except, it was perfectly fine before it happened.
