    Basically I think this article is just fodder to load into the 'disposables are a growing trash problem' thing, which to some extent I believe. First off, it looks like it's made out of metal instead of plastic, which as far as I know all disposables are. Second, it's in the side of the tire, not the 'bottom'. Was the driver doing donuts or something and slammed into a wall or curb? Whether or not that husk is (was) a disposable, I think a malicious somebody punctured a tire and stuck that thing in there. Or maybe the mechanic was bored, so he or she stuck a disposable skeleton in a tire that already had a hole in it, took a picture and now is sitting back to see the end result..

    I had the same thought about the object being in the side of the tire. Plus, a nail goes into a tire no problem, Something that diameter and as flimsy as a disposable vape just doesn't feel right. More likely it would just get flattened.

    I've seen some mighty large diameter bolts puncture a tire before. I was a truck driver in the past, had my share of flats. It's really surprising the stuff I've seen. From the rest of the comments, I've decided that video is probably not worth watching
