 FACT: When the bus enters LAX the right rear tire is torn by the  security spikes in the driveway, but does not rupture immediately;  we later see it peeling apart as the passengers are retrieved, until  it bursts completely and sends the bus lurching to the left, away  from the retrieval vehicle, with Jack and Annie still aboard.  However, a tire that bursts on the *right* side of a vehicle at high  speed will cause that vehicle to skid to the *right*, which in this  case is *into* the retrieval vehicle
