This is MAD!! ![]() A compressed natural gas-powered bus exploded Monday and injured 17 while waiting at a traffic light in Seoul, South Korea. The CNG tank ruptured, tearing the bus apart and shattering nearby windows. The whole incident was capture on video below. Korean CNG Bus Explosion Caught On Camera [dohtml]<object width="640" height="390"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/jOf69xHnyrk&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/jOf69xHnyrk&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="390"></embed></object>[/dohtml] The catastrophic failure resulted in 17 injuries to riders and pedestrians, one of which was serious and resulted in a 28-year-old woman requiring immediate surgery to both ankles. Seoul's bus fleet is comprises of approximately 95% CNG buses and as a result the government's launched an immediate investigation into the safety of the fuel tanks. ![]() If the failure mode is determined to be a defect in the tank, all buses manufactured in the same year will be recalled and possibly others if their tanks are considered suspect. One thing's for sure though, we're betting Seoul's bus ridership drops just a little bit until they get things figured out. (Thanks for the tip duurtlang!) |

That motorcyclist did well to keep control. I reckon I'd have been straight off just from the shock! |

[GK-customfield]Jeff![customfield-GK]The Prelude, in many ways, is a typical Japanese car but I would always put it in a list of all-time fave raves because its V-Tec engine is just so amazingly sweet. I've said before that this is the best mass produced engine of all time, and I'll say it again now. J.C. (But, to be honest, in 1997!) | |
