YET ANOTHER Electric Bus FIRE in London (that's THREE) | MGUY Australia

[michelgranger]

Politicians don't care about people. They only care about the kickbacks they get for pushing policies that advantage their sponsors.

[smith]

If passengers are not allowed smoke on the bus then surely it’s fair that passengers ask that the bus doesn’t smoke either ! 😂😂

[JSu.]

At least they've stopped the practice of calling these "diesel fires" 😉

[videoish]

He won’t stop them - that means admitting it’s failed & that can’t be allowed. Pity he’s allowing those toxic fumes to poison a neighbourhood. What a joke

[ianjones]

The firemen don’t have to drive fast to an EV fire.
There is no rush to get to a fire that cannot be extinguished.

[cspark]

By far, electric busses are the most toxic vehicles in London.

[iREALmedia]

Can you also highlight the fact that the water that’s used to put out the fire is toxic and should not make its way into the street drain?

[dandlion]

The idiocy of the government is becoming a danger to society.

[MrBoondocker]

Has anyone ever noticed that all these politicos pushing EV's don't drive them, or take public transportation?!!!

Boeing is in huge trouble for 3-4 recent disasters of their 737-8’s (remember the door flying off in mid air), but the news on buses which carry multiple passengers are quiet.

[raybrensike]

Was just looking for movies. If Christine came back as an EV, and if it started melting through concrete, burning down buildings and such, would it really come across as being demonically possessed, or just as a regular EV?

I live in Toronto Canada. A few years back a building under construction had a window Fallout. And then shortly thereafter another building another window and then a third. By this point the bees were abuzz and people figured out there was a problem. They fixed it. No more window collapses. Three incidents was more than enough.

Three buses ablaze is more than enough. Pull the fleet. Figure it out.

I don't think Sadiq Khan needs to take any action. At this rate Londoners will be 100% safe from electric buses in 6 to 9 months as they will have all "recycled" themselves. Buses that recycle ♻️ themselves? How much more environmentally friendly can a vehicle get?

[ellesmerewildwood]

By 2050 we will have achieved net zero and perpetual motion machines and London Zoo will have it's first flying unicorn.

[robg]

You hit the nail on the head at the beginning, “it’s only a matter of time before someone gets killed”
Throughout recent history we have improved safety to such a degree that when a disaster happens [like the greenfield tower] there is an huge public and political outcry with calls for those responsible to be imprisoned for their criminal negligence.

In the future we are going to see politicians and so called experts who have pushed this new technology through before the safety hazards and risks have been established, squirm and writhe and try to wriggle out of the responsibility,
We need to keep a register of who said what and when so they can be held accountable when it goes wrong.

[grellis]

One thing you can bank on: Sadiq Khan won't do a thing!

[thomasfarley]

EV fires are getting more and more common as these rancid batteries deteriorate from us, changes in temperature rattling around and general poor quality!

[BradKwfc]

That bus fire just put as much pollution in the air as 10 diesel busses do in a lifetime😅

[tssarkozi]

That is a big battery with untold malice gushing into the atmosphere.

[terradrive]

Apparently toxic fumes and by products are acceptable vs exhaust gases that went through catalytic converters
