LA Times Story via Drudge since I can't link to a story directly.

Question: Was this an alternative fuel bus? I have never seen such a fire.

I am very suspicious. More victims of environmental alarmism?

Curious question, one which I’d like to hear more about too.

This is a terrible tragedy.

Prayer up for the victim’s families.

Just seems like a regular bus to me.

Pic shows a FedEx Freight truck involved.

Lawyers are likely near-rioting to get the lawsuits filed at this very moment.

Sounds like FedEx driver was at fault...sleepy driver, or one of those ‘diverse’ hires?

I am sure it is, but honestly I haven’t seen this kind of damage without some contributing element, NTSB should be investigating, but didn’t see a note about it in the story.

They should be on site.

I read that there was a third car involved in the crash, although its occupants were uninjured. I was wondering if perhaps that car cut off the truck or did something that made the driver lose control. Or possibly he had a heart attack or some other sudden medical event. That does happen, unfortunately.

I heard this AM that it was thought the Fedex truck was trying to avoid a car that had cut him off.
One of the saddle tanks on the Fedex truck must have been split open to cause that conflagration.

I have seen tanks rupture before, this is more than I have ever seen except in the case where no one was trapped and the fire department let it burn.
