Sounds like it was just a lot of water, no matter how good the tire, enough water will make you slide

yup, even the best rain/water channeling tires can only channel out so much...

If your making a left hand U turn while accelerating, yes it will slide out because your drive tire is on the right. As far as the loud crack, I have no clue, but it is possible that your rear brakes slipped a little bit while your ABS was lightening up on the rear brakes to prevent a lock up.
