LPG Taxi bursts into flames

Wednesday, February 04, 2009


This just happened yesterday while along Buendia in Makati. A cab who was about to send off a couple of passengers to the airport suddenly had fire in their airconditioning unit. This was attributed to a supposed leak in the LPG tank of the cab which immediately had the fire spread throughout the vehicle. Alejandro Villanueva had just crossed Buendia terminal at about 8:55 p.m. when he saw flames from it. Now, the cab is only going to be seen as smoked junk along EDSA.

A man was also injured when they tried to put out the fire with water. He was a part of the Metro Manila Development Office Rescue Team, but he was not rescued in this case how ironic. I knew these things were really dangerous, I'm sure this is not going to be the only LPG ran taxi that's going to explode. I just hope it isn't me on the passenger seat when it happens. I have lots of places that I go to in that vicinity but I never wished to be barbecued hahaha.
