Glad to hear you are ok but still feel sad for the car.

Glad you're OK!  Seems like accidents are almost always caused by someone doing something  stupid.  This was different, a part failure completely out of the blue.  Did the tie-rod end pull apart at the ball and socket or did it break somewhere in the threaded area?  I've had some old vehicles and something like a tie-rod end failure sometimes enters my mind but it's never happened.  Again, glad you're OK.

Holy Crap dude! 

I'm really glad you're ok.  So many things could have gone worse during those few seconds.

That was close.
