Help who?

And help with what? Your bare hands?

Stop where people are driving 60km/h and where there is no hard-shoulder?

Stopping to further exacerbate the traffic hold up?

bro, come on!!!!
1st these flames must be seen from far back so people will slow down
2nd so a car crashes in front of you, possible unconscious people trapped inside the car, and you will just go about your business?!
3rd who cares if the traffic is 10miles long (because you stopped to help) if you can possibly save a life?! oh yeah, i forgot, having a fluid traffic is much more important in Nigerian than possibly saving a life, right?

MOST IMPORTANTLY what would you want people to do if YOU had crashed and was possibly trapped/unconscious inside the car?! drive by while taking photos and making sure there is no hold ups?!

First off, the car did not overheat. It was an electrical issue that led to it burning.
Secondly, a whole lot of people stopped to help out wit teargas all to no avail. It started from the under and found its way inside so the gas could not properly get under for fear of it bursting into flame with people so close to it.

I just hope its comprehensively insured. If not, hard luck

Drivers these days has refused to check their radiator, instead they will be speeding up and down like F1......... cool

U are right. From a eye witness in a bus,that was driving behind the sienna car, , he stated that it was a young lady that was driving the sienna car and all of a sudden, the front of the car burst into flames and the car flip over severally on the road. Luckily the lady was pull out before the entire car finally caught up with fire.

Oga even your eye witness does not know what he saw. Once again kindly look at the shell of the burning car... does it look like a sienna to you? Thats a dodge caravan

With that level of fire, what am I stopping for?

If they are not out of that, they are already dead.

What equipment would I use to help while on 3rd Mainland Bridge?

In that kind of situation, you aint saving no life, you will just be risking adding yours to it. The best you can do is to call Fire Service, if there is a number for them.

In a sane country, people like you should be in the zoo. There are reports of school shooting everytime in the US. Has Obama resigned? Is this the first time a car will burst into flame in Nigeria, did you call for the resignation of even the local govt chairman?
Your idiocy stinks to hell!

are u just realizing that nigeria is not a sane country or u'r only trying to be mischievous and being pained because of d emergence of PMB as d president ? U must be in self induced coma,when nigeria youths were duped & killed while looking 4 immigration job,during gej era. Your brothers that were awake then didn't ask gej to resign,all they did was to shift blames away from gej. And to think,u'll do this 4 d next 7yrs is pathetic. If u can't bear pMB,go to biafra.

as much as the fire is huge now, i assume it started as just tiny flames, therefore help could be given.... and i will at least STOP and ask if any help is needed.

btw i ALWAYS have a big bottle of water in the car, so it could help the lady clean her face or throw it on her possible injuries.

Na Nigerians holy pass for Sundays and Fridays but with the wackiest mentality and non-chalant attitude.

i wonder if they believe anything they say/hear in church, or if it is just like a dream where they go through the motion like zombies.

This a very bad trend in Nigeria, that when tragedy struck, the first thing people do is not to call the emergency services or offer any help. What they do is to take pictures and record videos with phones to share on social media.

My brother in law was knocked down by a hit & run driver last month, and a large crowd gathered around him and taking photos for over 20 mins, with no help offered. Thank God for a family friend passing by who recognised him. The story would have been different.
I suppose you dont expect a Samarian on third mlnd bridge who would jump into the lagoon and fetch water to quench the readily red fire! I just wanna make a sense!
