A bus has exploded in central Stockholm, leaving the driver seriously injured.
The explosion occurred at Klaratunneln in the middle of Stockholm city. Huge plumes of black smoke were seen hovering above the Swedish capital. The driver was seriously injured and has been taken to hospital.
The bus is believed to have struck the roof of the Klaratunneln and the gas tank exploded on impact.
The bus was not in service and did not carry a passenger.

“Some type of massive electrical malfunction..!”
That’s what the news kept claiming when the muzzies were blowing up the London tube.
Oh, and busses.
I think we know what this is.
That’s a great photo. Glad it was an accident and not terrorism.
Jihadists are weeping
Diversity is our strength.
I'd think terrorists would choose a bus that had passengers to blow up.
I wonder if this is one of those compressed natural gas (CNG) powered buses with the tanks mounted on the roof?
I was lame:
I commented before reading the whole article.
I feel really dumb.
Could someone have been trying to blow up the tunnel...?
FWIW, I’m not sure reading the whole article helps if we can’t trust the info.
Gas leak?
“The bus is believed to have struck the roof of the Klaratunneln and the gas tank exploded on impact. “
I suppose if it’s near the Klaratunneln that may explain it
Yes the would have, but occasionally their bombs detonate early. Sometimes they just blow themselves up in their apartments. Not saying that was the case here, but jihadi accidents do happen.
Possible. There was an incident after 9-11 where some guy who just happened to be a Muslim was caught walking in a subway dressed in a hazmat suit. He was carrying a bucket of water and some cyanide tablets. The “authorities said he was trying to commit suicide. Riigghht. Anyone remember that one?
If it hit the tunnel entrance... why is there NO tunnel in the picture... did they back out of it while it was one fire...was it towed out while it was on fire?
WEIRD
How fortunate that there were no passengers on board. I hope the driver survives and that he does not suffer serious disability as a result.
LOL. I don’t think they waste bombs on empty busses.

Radical environmentalism kills.

Suicide safety...
Wear a hazmat suit and do it in a well ventilated area....
NY Times story says it was a roof-mounted NG tank.
