Appears to be one of the red line electric busses. Must've been kinda spicy with that big ole Lithium Ion battery on there.

 

[Mgderf]

Yeah, that's not gonna buff out.

Paint job and it’ll be up and running in no time. Lol

That’s the cordless heating option, nothing to see here folks….

“Clean” energy.

I thought it was weird to see a Red Line bus going down 34th St this morning...

Preliminary reporting and some really early pictures from passengers make it look like a crackhead lit a fire inside the passenger area, so maybe not an actual battery fire until after the whole thing went up.

Memories...
June, maybe July 2005, and a bus full (26 IIRC) of young Iraqi police recruits that got hit with an IED.
Nothing left but an empty shell and charred bones.
This was like one of those "you can't smell a photo" deals.
Yeah... I can.

Yeah... I can.

When I was an EMT went to the house fire that Clarence Roberts and his wife were consumed in down here in Brown County. Same deal. Burned flesh-pretty memorable smell.

Didn't mean to make it sound like I thought the battery went up, just that a fire like that, when it got to the batteries...

Good thing those buses and stations are free!

 

[Bugzilla]

Tomorrow big sale at Food Mart.

it's nice to have the Red Line to spread the crackheads, mentally ill, and thugs around a bit more

According to the brilliant on-the-scene reporter from Fox59, they "catched" the perp down the street at the McD's

I was told on INGO that EV’s are hot…

 

[Alamo]

How many nonpassengers off the street jumped on the bus so they could make claims against the city? Isn’t that the usual procedure?
