JFK-1 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I read a lot of news while doing so I see a lot of unusual stuff, doubtless others do too. Wanted to post this video and maybe make a thread for unusual news stories. Argentina, a bus catches fire on the motorway while mobile, they pull over and begin to evacuate as the blaze spreads. No one was reported injured, but this is even worse than I first described, as the blaze becomes bigger the heavy traffic is still passing it by, then something else happens.

What’s the “something else” that happened? Bus goes on fire, fuel spreads onto road and the fire brigade come and sort it oot? No being wide…but am I missing somethin?

Mr Sifter Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Good idea for a thread by the way. Loads of unusual, quirky things go on around the planet yet the mainstream media are never interested in showing it. They’d rather keep us in a perpetual state of fear. “Goodable” is a great site/channel, a news media outlet that only focuses on heart warming, good news stories. Well worth checking out.

What happened next is the wall of fire crossing the motorway to the divider and the traffic dodging around it, that's unusual to me though I don't watch a lot of news videos that aren't news reader or interview based. Maybe it happens all the time. But in addition I don't even know what's gradually creating that wall of fire, if that had been petrol it would have exploded.

FWJ Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 See around 47 seconds in, before the firemen arrived, did the windscreen washer bottle rupture or something?

Get where you’re coming from. Your right tho, now that I think about it. I just assumed it was petrol but as you say, it would’ve gone up instantaneously.

Bauld Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Seen a similar incident only a few weeks back traveling down the M6 to Warrington. Big BMW saloon on fire on the northbound side. Flames all over the road. Was crazy stuff but thankfully I could also see the family who were in the car all safe at the side of the road.

JFK-1 Posted October 6, 2023 Author Share Posted October 6, 2023 Entitled Drunk Flees in Tesla, Cries for Daddy when Caught On February 21, 2022 in Florida, officers were dispatched to a call in reference to a suspected drunk driver. A witness stated that he had seen a Tesla nearly hit a palm tree. He said the driver then reversed, squealing the tires, almost hitting two nearby pedestrians, and then speeding away. A BOLO was issued for the vehicle, and a short time later, a deputy located the Tesla parked on the side of the road. When he attempted to approach the vehicle, the driver sped away.

Ray Gin Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Spider lays eggs in man's toe during cruise holiday https://uk.news.yahoo.com/spider-lays-eggs-mans-toe-091600204.html "My wife thought it may be because I had new sandals and they were rubbing on my big toe and that was causing it to be red." The doctor cut his toe open, causing the spider's eggs to pour out. After the holiday, Mr Blake went to hospital in the UK where doctors prescribed antibiotics - but four weeks later, he noticed something else unusual in his toe. On another visit to the doctors, they discovered one of the eggs had hatched into a small spider, which was stuck underneath his skin. He said: "They believe the spider was making its way out - eating its way out of my toe." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
