That sucks, but vehicles seldom "explode".
Usually its just burning off fuel in the engine.

My bus driver in my 8th grade year hit a dog being walked by someone. If you can see the person along with the arm being pulled in a direction most likely they have a dog. MOVE OVER!!!!!!!

Then this year (9th grade) my bus driver was driven around the lake near my house and just slammed on the brakes for no reason. The car behind us hits us and the bus driver started bitching (pardon my french) and the old lady behind us. We were like WTF then started laughing when she started yelling at the old lady.

Nothing to see here...move along.

Not true. What happens when the engines on large/powerful vehicles blow up. Look at the dragsters (yes they have about 200 times the HP than that of the new Corvette Z06 (400 HP). Their engines can go BOOM big time. Most of the time theres a fault in the engine (i.e. a big crack) then the piston goes into the compression stage causing the crack to expand thus making a hole/making engine weaker fire leaks out and engine goes BOOM!!!!!! LOl.

Scary! Hope everyone is okay, and the bus didn't putter out permanently.

Don't hate me for loving blueberry pancakes and small dogs.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the dragsters you're talking about powered by jet/rocket engines? If memory serves, they don't have pistons mate...

Default Re: My bus caught on fire this morning

Yes, i have such things happening to me all the times...
My schoolbusdriver is the worst driver i ever encountered. We hit stuff several times a month. Once there was this huge fat Mercedes coming from the side on a corner and hit the bus at full speed. (only accident where it was not my busdriver's fault ever) The schoolbus itself is total rubbish and was taken off the roads this weekend. (finally we got rid of that thing, it was so uncomfortable) The front of the mercedes was completely desintegrated and it looked like the two persons in the car had the engine between them. Only the car driver had a light cut in the forehead, no other injuries. I was sitting right where the car hit; at the window, above the rear wheel. I think that really fat and massive bus rim saved me from injuries because the car hit the rim and the bus was not even damaged. I was (along with my friends sitting somewhere everywhere around me) terribly shaken by the impact, it frightened me, and when the bus stood still i was like "What the heck?", i checked on my friends and one of them was really confused and i started comforting her, and when i looked out the window i immediately stepped out to see the damage on our bus. Not a scratch. It was a very funny moment because that bus was really crapy and looked like it would fall apart in the least of shocks.

That's if the engine is still turning full throttle when there is damage.
A shut off engine in a bus that's on fire will not likely blow up, however the fuel tank might...

No that is a landjet. They are basically cars with modded F-16 engines. And they really dont serve any usefull prupose other than to study thermodynamics or aerodynamics.

If you know the enemy
and know yourself,
you need not fear the result of a
hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy,
for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat.
If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will
succumb in every battle.
