    because it’s impossible that the other 3000 cars filled with an explosive liquid could have ignited the fire. No, it’s definitely impossible, those fuel tanks never leak, and gas vapor never explode

      Pretty sure they don’t ship cars with gasoline in em, thats extra weight that doesnt need to be there let alone the fire hazard.

      The electric cars on the otherhand most likely have the batteries built into the fucking frame.

        Tbh all cars have at least one battery. Or it might have been some order random accident that has nothing to do with the cargo. I think we need more info on this

          While that’s true I was more pointing out the falsehood in the other commentor, and while most cars have batteries lets not pretend a batter the size of a cinder block is the same as one the size of a mattress.

            well that and it’s different chemistry (lead vs lithium)

            …aaaand EVs have those old lead-acid batteries too. (btw: we should finally ditch those for LiFePo or similar)

        This particular ship does. It’s essentially a giant ferry that new cars are driven on to, not loaded.
