I want the smart guy on Nova to show me that anti-freeze will ignite.
I do know that UN-diluted anti freeze WILL freeze, but have spent over 55 years around cars & I have never heard of anti-freeze being able to ignite.
Not only ignites, but ignite due to contact with a headlight.
And then set the garage on fire.
While the front end of the car was away from the end of the garage (the car was partially during the fire).
And the flames were big enough and lasted long enough to ignite the garage, the ceiling/rafters being several feet away
Meanwhile the driver mysteriously can't exit the vehicle, nor could she blow the horn for help, or use her phone
Riiiiiight.
What are the odds of antifreeze catching on fire?
What are the odds of a low spped crash creating a cloud of antifreeze?
What are the odds that cloud reached the headlights in concentrations high enough to combust?
What are the odds that the headlights would have enough heat to ignite this coolant cloud?
What are the odds of that combustion producing persistant flames strong enough to ignite a structure?
What are the odds a 37 YO woman would be incapacitated by this accident?
Each item above has fairly long odds in my opinion. Stringing them all together puts this story way beyond plausible.
Better yet, this is a great one for the guys at Myth Busters.
