We’re not entirely sure what caused the explosion of this Camaro-resembling funny car in the United Arab Emirates. All we know is that the man who ran up to the car and inspected the engine bay is extremely lucky, because an explosion took place only moments after. Watch:

According to the U.S. Fire Protection Agency, fire departments respond to over 250,000 vehicle fires per year. Each year, these fires cause an average of 408 deaths, 1,256 injuries and $787 million in property damage. Fires caused by collisions and rollovers resulted in nearly 66 percent of these fatalities.
We all fill our tanks, we work on our cars – fully aware ( at least most of us ) that cars are combustible, flammable, dangerous machines and every time we’re near or in one, there is that chance we’ll be injured or worse by a contraption that manufactures and manages millions of explosions inside a combustion chamber with sparks.
So what might we think of the alarmists and fear-mongers, politically inclined and foolish ones who create mass fear re: electric cars being dangerous or fire hazards?You know not one Chevy Volt owner or EV driver has had one single fire incident in over 3 million miles driven so far. Even in homes that have burned with an EV in the garage have all had Fire Marshalls deem the car a victim, not the cause….
And then – There’s THESE PEOPLE. I had to laugh – but then I thought: “They let these people outside?!!!”
