Never ever saw a diesel bus do this

[BIAD]

There's been an overnight fire in the top level parking facility at Luton Airport in England and I'm waiting to
see how the media spin the incident. If it's due to a problem with an electric vehicle, it'll be down-played...

'...It is thought the fire started with a diesel-powered vehicle "and then that fire has quickly and rapidly spread",
said Andrew Hopkinson, Bedfordshire's chief fire officer. While the exact number of cars damaged or destroyed
is not yet known, Mr Hopkinson said: "There is a substantial number [of cars] that are not damaged."

There is no suggestion the blaze happened intentionally...'

'...Electrical faults with the 12-volt battery system are the most common cause of car fires, according to the AA's
technical expert Greg Carter. Mr Carter said diesel is "much less flammable" than petrol, and in a car it takes
"intense pressure or sustained flame" to ignite diesel...'

'...The exact cause of the fire and the number of vehicles damaged is not yet clear...'

BBC:

'...How did the fire start?

Authorities said the fire appeared to be accidental, with local fire chief Andrew Hopkinson saying there was no
evidence to suggest anything to the contrary. He added the fire likely started in a diesel car, before spreading
to nearby vehicles.

"We don't believe it was an electric vehicle," he said. The cause of the fire remains under investigation...'
