Ever seen a nail/screw do this to a tire?

I had a screw in my tire about an inch or two away from the side wall. It looks like it went in fairly straight - easy fix right? Nope - once they took it off and showed me the inside....yikes. It was a fairly new tire too. $250 later...

How is this possible? The gouges did not go all the way through.
