Over the years I have spent at the track I have seen a lot of fires, brake fires, oil fires, nitro-methane fires, you get the picture. But I have never seen a fire you cannot put put out.
Magnesium will do it. Back when the F-14 was still doing carrier duty, if one caught on fire, doctrine was to just push it overboard so it wouldn't burn through the flight deck. They'd continue burning even underwater.
I've never seen a tornado either yet I read about the devastation they cause on a routine basis. I have absolutely NO desire to ever see one for real in what remains of my lifetime. I will say the same goes for being within visual proximity to a fire that cannot be extinguished.
Tornados are natural weather phenomenon of course, while lithium batteries are an entirely man-made product that are becoming all too numerous in my daily surroundings.
Not sure what you're saying - that you're not believing the story; or that EV battery fires are truly in a case by themselves- kind of a new experience for us and for firemen.
Not at all my friend, it's a matter of time before someone brings one of thise to a track day. As soon as they have an off and rupture the battery pack, game on.
This ship fire was a couple years ago? I sure haven't heard much about it - thanks for writing about it. I had heard of a couple lithium battery fires on ships, but not one that had actually caused a sinking. What an economical tragedy. Glad all crew were saved, or it would have been worse than economic.
Duuuuuuude. (Is there a German equivalent word for "duuuuuuuuuuuude"?)
I mourn the loss of all those beautiful, wonderful, human works of art, those magical gasoline powered automobiles that would have brought so many smiles to so many professional middle-aged men suffering through their late midlife crises. What a tragedy. Stupid EV nonsense.
A ship burns for a month before sinking into the ocean with 4000 automobiles. All in the name of saving the environment. From carbon dioxide.
I have to rewatch "Dumb and Dumber" just to keep my sanity

That is the Green Revolution for you! Bringing you whole new experiences like unextinguishable fires!

That'll be quite the drama, most likely at a California track
