Thats worryingly flammable.


ISTM pretty normal for a commercial vehicle which carries a load of diesel.

And it's not all that rare for buses to burn. Eg

26/11 in Motherwell

17/11 in Gloucester

My impression is that they and the similar lorry fires don't get that
much coverage because in the vast majority of cases no one is seriously
injured.
