Hybrid Car Bursts into Flame
Car explodes on Colorado Avenue near downtown Bend
Published: October 07. 2009 in the Bend Bulletin
Firefighters work to extinguish a car that caught fire at the intersection of Colorado Avenue and Bond Street in Bend just after 7 a.m. Tuesday. A news release from the Bend Fire Department suggests the fire started due to a malfunctioning of the battery and electrical system, located in the trunk in the 2002 BMW. Owner Kevin Dolphin told firefighters his car had been serviced within the past week. No one was injured, but the car was declared a total loss.

What this doesn’t tell you – this was a hybrid vehicle and the electrical system, which is in the trunk, malfunctioned. There was a fire and the danger of electrocution and acid burns. While everyone is getting excited about some of these vehicles, have you taken any time at all to consider the risks?

About
The Flying Monkeys!
This is my place to rant.
Most of the time, my rants are valid.
Once Dorothy liberated the Flying Monkeys
they became a force for good in OZ.
Now, they are here!
Oh My!
blah, blah. blah –
Laura links to a 2002 theory and refuses to give you the results of the theory from 7 years ago – yet comes to a false conclusion. AND, it was not on topic.
Laura is a moron.
Laura –
Take your Obama adoration out of your ass and READ what was written. You did not comment on the post AT ALL. You assumed my position with NO knowledge of what it was and once again make yourself look stupid.
Some of these technologies are DAMN dangerous and not ready. Just because we want them to be, doesn’t mean they are.
Linking to a person’s theory in 2002 and failing to show the results and yet stating a conclusion is moronic.
