Blimey! Rim wear, impact, random failure?
Not sure why you need rescuing, a bit of duct tape should have that back together in no time.

Hit a bit of a bump and instantly blew the tyre, the rim didn't have much wear less than a year old. It's quite a clean break but to be fair it might be my bike telling me to loose some timber!

Second time this week on the way into work I have had a Owl fly next to me for a couple of minutes. I assume its using me to scare mice etc into moving as I ride past.
Oh it does happen.
Happened to me a good few years ago. Its just simple high mileage brake pad wear that causes it. And a lack of attention to wear
One of the reason's I swapped over to disk braked bikes for the commute. I was going through rims at a pair every 18-24 moths.
Bet that's a fantastic experience - I sometimes get similar with bats along the tow path; presumably looking to feast on the perpetual swarm of flies following me..

Not significantly worn according to OP.
It is.
A few years ago some of us were on an Audax in deepest, darkest Kent when a white Barn owl flew out of the trees and along the road in front of us for a good few yards. Magnificent
Yup - love the little interactions with wildlife afforded by quiet travel in natural environments
