spark plug blew out
I hate to hear that. I had four of them do it on my '01 model. It got so bad at the end that I kid you not...the tow truck driver (who I never met) showed up and he asked "Didn't I tow this truck last week?"

Yep...he towed it from my house a week earlier for another blown plug. I feel your pain man. Get the rest of them re-torqued while you're dealing with it.
