Bent Rim?
Alrighty, yesturday I managed to turn my truck over on its side. Dont ask...

If you can't see the bend, it should still hold air. If you stuck some dirt in the bead, it will not hold air. You will need to remove the tire, and re mount it. You will also want to get all of the dirt out of the inside of the tire.
I am not asking, just sorry to hear about your flop. Hope everyone is alright. I hate it when that happens.
