An Italian bus caught fire. Nothing too terribly newsworthy, except that it was fueled with compressed propane or natural gas. Still not overly newsworthy except that the emergency valves seemed to open (as they were supposed to) and released impressive jets of fire. Had the valves not opened, the fire likely would have eventually cause the gas tank(s) to burst, resulting in one massive fireball. This occurred out in the boonies; had it happened in town there would have been collateral damage.
The video is quite something.
While digging up this video I stumbled across another one, about an Italian bus fire from 2019. While the one from a few days ago seems to have been an accident with no passengers on the bus, in 2019 a “migrant” bus driver in Italy set a bus on fire with 51 Italian children on it as a “protest.”
The goal there was apparently to kill every last one of those kids as a way to make the Italians more sympathetic to their invaders and colonizers.
And here’s a bus kerplosion from Stockholm. Seems the CNG tank is up top and the bus tried to go into a tunnel that was too short for it. Whoopsie.
Pop quiz, hotshot: how tall is your friggen’ bus?
