The UK has gone to hell in a handbasket.
What is this ? A mad world full of unreasonable, supossedly leaders
So experts have concluded that a Diesel car caused the fire. Has anyone tried to get Diesel to burn? Another cover-up to protect the stupid EV cult. 🤫🤫🤫🤐🤐🤐
Most likely a electric car going up in flames again in the car part as they do.
Was it an EV?
The footage of the fire starting has been released – it was a Discovery Range Rover Sport – Diesel/Electric Hybrid. Guess which part caught fire. But of course mainstream media said it was a diesel, the bit that didn't actually catch fire.
No matter how the fire started , once it reached the EVs each one became a lethal incendiary bomb , impossible to extinguish , hence the ferocity of the fire . Looks like its game over for EVs . Who is going to risk allowing them to park under an apartment block or shopping centre now ?
Everyone buy electric cars 🎉🎉🎉Totally safe honestly 😂
Land rover discovery sport diesel hybrid, say no more.
That story is bullshit! A car fire did not course that
Oh yes it’s the electric battery but they will cover that one up Again … 😢 they had to cancel flights as well . No spinkler would put out that fire , so it spreads to other electric vehicles which is what happened in this instance. Oh but they are safe . Now they are even banning them from ferry’s….. let’s all rush out to buy them 😂😂😂😂
🤦♂Who builds a million-dollar structure and does not include a sprinkler system?
My bet is that it was blocked breaks caliper which eventually caught fire. I would advise luton airport to check closely on cctv moment this car drives in
Nice try again sky for the lies, we all know that was an ev not a diesel car, I've personally seen an exact same model burning on the motorway once.
If MSM is saying this is diesel then we know what's truth 😅😅
EV fire msm covering it up
Could it be arson?
Wiful sin is death
Was it a hybrid or electric car?
I wonder what is the legal postion of the owner of the vehicle which started it and his insurance company and indeed anyone buying one of these with the knoiwledge of what happened on the Freemantle Highway and Luton Airport, because the real reason will surely out in the end and it seems quite likely the cause was the same.
Another EV Diesel exploding in Parts of Ireland Rangerover have advised to use diesel only as apparently will recall them all at some stage due to this happening.
Diesels are very hard to ignite hence compression and glow plugs as a spark doesnt work on diesel
😂😂
Gasoline and Diesel do not spontaneously combust. Li batteries do. Gasoline fires don't burn hot enough to melt concrete and steel. Li battery fires do. Not a rocket surgeon here, but I conclude this is one of the dangers of electric and hybrid vehicles.
ban EV from parking lots
This was definitely caused by climate change/covid/racism/white supremacy and misogyny thank me later
Only a matter of time before this happens on a ferry or in the chunnel
Lithium-ion fire… EV's are so safe. lol.
Most interesting thing to ever happen in Luton.
EV
il stick with my M3 thanks.
When are the authorities going to admit to us that the vehicle that started the fire was either a Diesel Hybrid or an EV.
We all know it was a Lithium-ion Battery that caused it.
EVs are unsafe a need to be BANNED.
glup OMG OMG OMG OMG NOOOOOO
1,500
Interestingly, as an aside, I've been reliably informed the cost for a replacement Battery Pack on a Range Rover like this is some £1,800
