Metrobus withdraws buses as 'precaution' after Crawley fire

This is going to be fun for us non drivers during the wet and windy weather!
Our latest hydrogen buses have been a pretty comfortable ride so far, as long as they don’t burst into flames of course :open_mouth:
My son could smell this one burning some distance away in college. Thankfully nobody was hurt.

I’m not an engineer but I am savvy enough to know that hydrogen is just a tad flammable! :thinking::fire:

Apologies, yet again I’ve not managed to set the link properly. Perhaps I should join my son in college for a little IT course…

It can take a minor crisis to turn a group of passengers into a team!

At least they can put a hydrogen fire out with some CO2…But you can’t put a lithium fire out with anything…

Lithium Fire

Well, this is partly why lithium battery devices aren’t allowed in a plane’s hold. And such devices need to be accessible at all times in the cabin. There was a recent case in which a laptop fell down and became trapped somehow, which led to the plane returning to the airport for it to be recovered.

Planes have specially designed pouches available to contain things such as mobiles which may flare up.
