OT: Fiery Crash On 605 Freeway in LA - Tesla...

[Rick C]

Fiery Crash On 605 Freeway in LA - Tesla not involved. How did this happen that gasoline laden vehicles could crash and burn in such a violent manner even without lithium batteries on board??? Who knew that gasoline could be so dangerous? INSANE!

They need to outlaw those dangerous vehicles.

As it was a pickup rather than an SUV, who knows what it was carrying?
It might have been a diesel for all we know, and wasn\'t
gasoline-powered. It could be what\'s burning is what its load was.

Yes, you\'re right. That pickup was probably carrying a bunch of lithium batteries. I suppose they could ban lithium batteries being transported in vehicles.

You both are right. The truck could be carrying diesel or lithium, or could just be from it\'s own fuel.

The PU truck propelled over the center divider, and it\'s gas tank was divided by the divider. The truck driver probably did OK. Not much damage to the front end. Two injuries, including one motorcyclist, were behind the truck.

What a waste of a \'71 Impala, though. This is how most \'71 Impalas look

The truck perched on the jersey barrier and the barrier being right were
the fuel tank is/was doesn\'t look good, though.

Nah - just the dangerous drivers.

A tough-guy truck getting hit while actually hauling a significant
amount of something? That _would_ be pretty unlucky

They need to outlaw those dangerous vehicles.

In San Diego about ten or so years ago a tanker caught fire on an
overpass, and they would not even put it out. They let it burn out.
It burned for hours. Something about putting it out with liquids would
cause an even more difficult hazmat cleanup than letting the fuel
consume itself would.

I\'m more of a \"Put that shit out!\" kind of guy.

A couple of decades ago there was a similar accident around DC where a gas truck ended up on the Jersey barrier under an overpass. Several people died including one who walked out of the maelstrom only to walk back in with the confusion to be consumed in the fire. The fire was so hot they were concerned about the safety of the overpass and spent a day or two performing testing of the structural members before allow it to open for traffic again. That was the worst accident I\'ve seen around here.

Good thing the truck wasn\'t hauling lithium batteries.

BTW, the environmental impact of washing hundreds of gallons of gasoline into the rivers is not trivial. They likely would have had to shut down the water treatment plants down stream.

The bigger issue is gasoline cars tend to be benign at night in
their garage. But that\'s when the recharging lithium car is
most likely to spontaneously go up..

Yeah, gasoline cars are great as long as you don\'t drive them. That\'s the kind of car I want, one that is too dangerous to drive.

You mean I responded appropriately to your point. Unless you own an EV with a known defect having been warned about the issue, EVs are no more dangerous than any other vehicle parked in your garage. So don\'t ignore recalls and you won\'t have a problem.

My point is that your point is BS, but I suppose you didn\'t get that point.
