Hoses (almost hosed)

So I'm traveling south on Route 3 out of Boston going 60 mph. All of a sudden I hear a "pop" and know it is my car. I'm looking around trying to figure out what just happened. In the rearview I get a glimpse of a lot of smoke coming from my car. Luckily I was able to pull over within a minute onto the shoulder. Just prior to pulling over the "Fill Coolant" light comes on...now I'm smelling it. Pop the hood and discover that the upper radiator hose blew off where it connects to the engine.
The best part...had enough juice in my cell for one call (AAA.) Tow comes in less than 20 minutes, drop the car at Firestone...$40 later I have a new clip and coolant (the original rusted away and broke.) Thankfully I was able to pull right over or the engine may not have made it.
