Almost Died

Was going to visit my Oldest daughter and I was going up the doing the speed limit. which was 45. then 50. And about 1/2 way there I felt like I was Twerking or maybe I was Shaking Da Ass bitch . anyway, I looked down at my rear tire and it was almost Flat. My first thought was I'm Dead. Then a little Bird them brown ones you see all the time. Slapped me in my face shield. I said to my self WTF is going on? I was only going 30mph at this point. but my backside felt like I was dancing with the Stars. so I started pumping the Front brakes and down shifting at the same time. Finally I was going about 8 to 10 mph. so I squeezed the front brake a little harder. I felt the Shaking get worse. all this time I'm saying to my self God please don't let me Die. I was now doing 3 to 5 mph. I squeezed the front brake hard the front end went down I leaned forward and put both feet down and crash the bike went Right hard right. cars were all on my right side. I said this is it Barry your going to get hit and die.
But then I hear tires squealing I look in my mirrors and everyone is stopping. next thing I'm on the Ground. bike is laying on me 3 people pick it up off me and 911 was called. Everyone stayed with me until the police and EMTS got there. I'm beat up sore and my feelings are hurt cause of it but I'm alive.

Here is the rear end.
not bad not good but it can be repaired to ride again another day
