Brooklyn: *Bus On Fire* 7 Ave & 92 St. U/D; EMS treating 7 victims, 1 in serious condition likely to die. Fire is knocked down. NY01
UPDATE: A bus and six cars were torched in the blaze.
The New York Daily News reported:
A twin-size mattress that ended up under an MTA bus is being blamed for sparking a bizarre Thursday night Brooklyn blaze that left the bus and six parked cars torched.
I thought those buses had diesel engines. Diesel doesn’t flash like gasoline.
I didn't know that. So that's what hillary's comment was about - it's better for ALL if Israel works on diplomacy.
Another center fuel tank explosion? :-/
I wouldn’t make this story up, but if the government flunkee who is the highest one on duty at this particular moment might not be very bright. The diesel post following yours makes a very good point.
Cmon kids, lets all sing! (the bear went over the mountain)
“The bus ran over a mattress
“The bus ran over a mattress
“The bus ran over a mattressssss
And purportedly blew up!
All I could think of is a tooth infection and a holiday weekend as I’ve been there. And I do like the map/Central Park and surrounding area.
The bus ran over a mattress
The bus ran over a mattress
And a spring sprang up up
And the bus, the bus went down.
Odd, nothing about this is coming up on Twitter at all.
And the kids said, "Mommy, can that REALLY happen"?
And a new phobia started - mabusaphobia.
If you hear it rocking, don’t bother knocking!
Right...
I think it is the flat out truth, and puts the whole issue to bed.
So long as there are no terrorist sleeper cells ...
“somebody sleeps dangerously.”
Now we know why they threw the mattress out.
I wonder if it was one of the MTA new green Natural Gas buses?
If a mattress spring punctured a gas hose...
My first job out of college was selling home furnishings (including mattresses). The funniest mattress story that I have EVER heard pertained to a delivery. No one was home at the scheduled delivery time, so the supremely customer service oriented deliver drivers made the "executive" decision to simply throw the king-sized mattress OVER the backyard fence (a wood fence..they could not see what was on the other side).
And, the King-sized mattress went....right...into...the...POOL, and immediately sank to the bottom...LOL!
The company had to hire a crane to remove it.
It depends on whether the mission was to kill Jews or just make the evening news on Al Jazeera back home.
Wow! Diesel fuel won’t explode. Hurray for compressed NG.
Exhaust pipe heat + cotton filler= smoldering fire.
Has Mayor Turdbloom blamed the Tea Party yet as he did with the Times Square bombing?
