Boom. (Or Not)
Posted: Mon 18 October, 2010 Filed under: Domestic, Driving 2 Comments »Locally today, the press is full of a story about a man who died when his car left the road, burst into flame and finally exploded. It happened on the main road I take to get to work, but fortunately wasn’t me, nor anyone known to me.
The road’s closed, and probably will be all day.
Must’ve been impressive, but I’m still pretty thankful to have not been involved at all.
Wow, I thought cars only caught fire and exploded in the movies. I never see exploded cars in the rougher parts of town, but loads of burnt-out ones.
Yeah, the local paper’s website did have a photo which was of a *very* burned out (but not explodo) car, so I don’t know for sure.
BBC reported it as explodo, but I guess it might’ve been bang of petrol tank? Don’t know.
