Amazing, driving home from work, no fire fighters had arrived to the scene yet, drove by and pulled out my phone to take a pic, right in time for the boooom, some movie type sh!t, all I know is that I have never heard VTEC kick so hard and the AEM roar so loud, I was out, LOL

 

:wtf: wow! what kinda car was it?

 

I think it was a late model Hyundai

 

Boom

 

what the hell happened. I saw on the news that 80 was all backed up, but they said a minor car accident but that don't look too minor to me....

 

damn, 2 fridays ago on my way back from school prob 70 degrees, 3 fires on the 350 mile trek.

a bus,

a truck with the throttle pinned...

and some car...



seems like cars are gooing up in flames alot more, and sorry to thread jack.

 

Burn Baby Burn!!!

 

I saw a truck on fire last week on my way down to NC from NY. It was on rte 85 northbound.

 

I saw an older pathfinder in flames on the hwy once,......it was pretty crazy.

 

Damn..I would of been like you too..Outta there..boom Hyundai boom

 

No pic of the driver on fire?

 

wow, that is wild! around what time did this happen??

 

78 east just after whitehall?

 

I was actually looking for that, don't think there were any passengers.

This happened around 6:45 pm Rte 80 West, towards Wayne

 

Another reason why NJ sucks. This would never happen in NY

 

Atleast it wasnt an Acura

 

I'd like my Acura to do that sometimes.

 

I was on 78 East way out by Oldwick, and a hay truck was on fire. The stupid state troopers didn't realize that the hay becomes very combustible when its on fire, and has the tendancy to blow up. They weren't diverting traffic even to the next lane over from the shoulder. I drove past the truck as far left as i could get, and about 2 seconds after i drove by it, truck blew up, completely englufing a car behind me and melted a stupid state troopers car that parked too close. Thank god no one else was hurt because they were retards

 

Hay is not explosive and will not "blow up"

 

the last 2 pictures were from 78 and 22 in pa.

 

We worked about 3-4 car fires a year over the 8 years I was there. A very small rural Indiana community.

Car fires are pretty common

 

Neither is grain but it does cause huge explosions in this case via dust. I can blow your house up with a 50 pound bag of flour two small initiation charges with two blasting caps one of them being a delay cap. (Technically it is an implosion but your has will be flat none the less)

Hay particularly if put up with a high moisture content when stored can do all sorts of strange things including self ignition. Normally you don't get an explosive mix unless it is enclosed BUT it would be possible to have decent sized pockets in a large tight packed open trailer.

 

I saw a yellow Ferrari 360 blow up like that last year on 495 (or 678?) in Queens.... Its front was pointed in the reverse direction of traffic and its bumper was hanging on the divider.... that thing was flaming and smoking like a mofo.... what I didnt' understand was, it was burning in the front of the car, but the engine is in the back?? maybe the gas tank is in the front?? or probably there was a lot of drugs in the front "trunk"

The same thing happened...as my friend was pulling out his cell phone to video the thing, the car just started to explode

 

Exactly thank you! All it takes is a source of ignition and it will blow if the fire gets hot enough. How do you think so many barns and silos burn? From working at a barn for so long, you never ever are supposed to stack hay and we refuse shipment on hay that isn't bailed properly or has a funny color.

 

working on a farm and being a firefighter for so long I can tell you hay can spontanously combust if it is put in the barn too "wet." that's often why farmers leave it in the field to "dry down. " hay fires suck. hay has what firefighters call "fast burn." meaning it burns fast and hard. so you get there and that sucker going hard. I've been to many hay barn fires. usually depending on how fast they find it we might be able to save some of the barn.

 

We always stored the hay in another stone barn with a slate roof. It was never ever anywhere near the horses, some of which were worth a couple of million. There was just a barn that burned down in Ringoes-i know the barn, and it was a dump-im not surprised at all, all it takes is one bad wire.

 

i saw a bus blow up once. geary street at 6th ave in san francisco. me and my friend just finished and we saw smoke everywhere. we see this smoky ass golden gate transit bus sitting in the middle of the street with cars stopped and everything. all of a sudden the back engine just went POW and flames were everywhere. fire fighters came and smashed all the windows in, stormed the bus and put it out.

ive also seen a burning trailer on the way to socal. all the hicks were standing on the freeway all sad their house burned down

 

This is soooo obviously some good NJ material, so I won't harp on it.

Besides, when I went to Illinois last month, it was the first and only time I didn't witness something weird in the Gary/NW Indiana corridor. Something ALWAYS happens in 'The Armpit.'
