The fire did NOT last "four hours". It was put out in 2-3 minutes.
“With respect to the fire fight, unfortunately, those rumors grew out way of control. It did not take us four hours to put out the blaze. Our guys got there and put down the fire within two to three minutes, enough to see the vehicle had occupants,”

- abxytg 5y agoSurely you don't think this technicality is compelling. My original comment contained hyperbole.
- xedeon 5y agoHyperbole or not, it sounds like you're now backpedaling. Moreover, it's also the same (fire lasted 3-4 hours) false narrative that many media outlets ran. Even though there was never an official report or account of the firefighting measures taken.
