They had zero explanation as to how it could happen and tires are all the place does.
Sounds like somebody seated the bead and then moved on to the next tire without fixing the pressure. 100psi isnt unheard of to seat a bead, especially if you do heavy duty tires.

Now think about how many tires that guy probably did that day for people who wouldn't notice.
