GAB ^ | 23 Sept 2022

Approximately 8 seconds before the bus is engulfed in flames. Not enough time to get a busload of people off the bus......

Not to worry! NO Frenchies were harmed beyond the pockbook.

UPS runs a lot of CNG trucks. I wonder what their experience is?

Reminds me of a Russian tank getting hit by a Javelin.

Can't find an UPS but a lot of other CNG fires

A garbage truck powered by compressed natural gas (CNG) erupted in a fireball on Tuesday in Hamilton Township, N.J., after a fire ignited fuel escaping through the pressure relief device (PRD) on one of the CNG tanks. No one was injured.

The ignition launched the CNG tank into a nearby resident’s home, Hamilton Fire Chief Thomas Gribbin told NGT News.

“Reminds me of a Russian tank getting hit by a Javelin.”

The difference is that the bus passengers had time to get out.

““The bus driver immediately evacuated all the passengers.”

But you said there was no time to evacuate the passengers.

Here you go.... and they bought 30 of them!!

What could go wrong? It would be disaster to be on a bus where you have a few seconds to get off....now imagine being on a plane.

I bet one of those EV battery fires puts out more air pollution than that of a Internal Combustion Vehicle in a year.

—”I bet one of those EV battery fires puts out more air pollution than that of a Internal Combustion Vehicle in a year.”

Jaguar/Rover CEO Ralph Speth claimed his cars emit cleaner air than Delhi’s general atmosphere...

You do the math.
