Anyway, as hobbyist who enjoys blowing up these batteries, here are a few observations:

1. The cells appear to be in the roof of the bus, not very good if you want people to get out fast. Thankfully they did get out in this case.

2. The cells are designed to ignite and behave like sparklers with their burning insides shooting out in one direction, which is why it looks like a fireworks show, in addition to the flame. The cells that heat up too quickly simply explode, hence the ‘gun shot’ sounds.

3. The city government had no choice but to pull them out of service, due to videos like this. If they were left in service, no one would use the buses.

I can understand enjoying blowing up stuff, but still, what kind of hobby is that?

Everyone knows it helps the electrons flow downward to the motors.
