Blew a tire

Was crusing on the interstate at 70 mph and heard a loud bang. My '83 K-10 started pulling hard left. I cranked hard on the wheel to keep it somewhat straight and began slowing down. Once I got in the median I inspected the damage. My driver's front tire split from the bead on the outersidewall perpendicular to the tread to an inch ornso from the inner sidewall. The belt beat my inner fender to crap as well as the front of my rocker panel. It also ejexted my beauty ring to who onows where. Tire was a 33x12.50R15 BFG KM2 with ~25-30k miles on it. Anyone seen a tire do this?
