I would think these incidents will become more frequent with higher adoption rates of EVs.
But at the rate of fire propagation, those exits hopefully are large enough for quick evacuation.
In my parts, the electric mopeds and scooters are more prone to such. Less QC and some shady makes. They’re not fully regulated (like security testing and charging).
Yeah, I like the way Bambi was slowly stalking her but got scared off before he could make the kill, otherwise things could’ve gotten really ugly really fast.
Holy Mother of God… you’d think that the bus’s electrical system would have some kind of failsafe to prevent such a runaway kind of fire. It’s remarkable no one was injured, but I can imagine the toxicity of that fire, all of those chemicals spewed into the air. I hope they were able to isolate the cause and take corrective measures in the design to prevent it from happening again.
Had a cat much like that one. Loved playing in the snow. She would always stay within the boundaries of the back ally. Thought it would be safe. Back neighbour set some food with rat poison. Very painful and slow death. I wept much.
Karma; had a portable welder drop on his head. Survived but went downhill afterwards. Ended up in a disability home and caught Covid (died). His wife lost it; interned mental ineptitude. Only son, low-down drinker and good for nothing came clamouring at his folk’s house a year after all that calamity. Was piss drunk and on pills, had driven over. Neighbour called the cops – took him in. Wasn’t the first time drunk at the wheel, and revoked license. Doing time now. Riddance.
