There are a bunch of more pertinent things to say, but I was struck by just how thoroughly demolished that car looked, and by the fact that it took 32k gallons of water to put the fire out because the battery kept re-igniting. I'm no expert on what typical high-speed crashes look like, but this seems ... problematic.
- throwaway2037 6y agoThese are good points. I am not qualified in this area, but it would be interesting to hear if 32k gallons of water is a lot to extinguish a total wreck fire. Is water the best thing to use for these battery fires? (Hint: Is a foam product more suitable, but more expensive?) Also: Do the batteries in hybrid cars have similar issues?
