My main circular saw blade shattered on a pressure-treated 2x10 yesterday

It was a Diablo 60-tooth finishing blade that I'd used for maybe 8 months. The whole thing just came apart with a loud bang and sent pieces flying across the garage. Anyone have a go-to blade for PT lumber that can handle the wetness and grit?

That Diablo blade explosion would've made me jump a foot.

Seriously, I saw a video breakdown of that exact attack. The sound design is what gets you, it's this weird wet crunch right before the fire goes everywhere. They spent months getting the timing just right so it feels unfair but also predictable if you're paying close enough attention. My first time through that fight I absolutely launched my drink.
