Why do you assume you'd have a blow out?
The plug would have either held or done a slow leak.
You'd have seen a low tire, or woken up to a flat tire.

Exciting tire blow outs are TV

It wasn't about the plug, it was about the damage to the inside of the tire itself that would cause a weak, possibly hot spot that would be more likely to fail catastrophically.
