A commercial bus bus went up in flames during the rush hours of today on the popular Third Mainland bridge in Lagos. The cause of the fire could not be ascertained before filing this report -as the incident seems to have caused a traffic gridlock in the area. Policemen and other officials have arrived the sceneto control the situation.

Most times due to the poor maintainance of the bus, there are small leakages of fuel from the fuel thank and as these buses are speeding they bump into the steal expansion gaps on the bridge's tarred road.

The metal part of the bus in turn scratches on the road surfaces igniting small sparks which now combines with the fuel leakages around the bus' fuel tank and booooom!

Most of those buses aren't road worthy.

They are hazardous/unsafe.

When most of those bus drivers will abandon the fuel tank that comes with their buses and replace it with a keg behind their seats on the engine

Re: Commercial Bus Catches Fire On Third Mainland Bridge In Lagos (photos) by Nobody: 6:46pm On Feb 24, 2016
This looks like a deliberate arson.

There was no mention of any deaths.

Look at the bus, the doors are all closed and it is right in the middle of the road. If the bus suddenly exploded into flames, in that position there should be mention of at least one death. If anybody got out they would likely not be composed enough to remember to close the door on their way out.

If the fire started gradually the bus would have been parked by the side of the bridge and not in the middle. there would have been evidence of scrambling in attempts to put out the fire before it becomes bigger. Considering the area where the engine is, at least one of the front doors would also be open.

Is it a coincidence that most reported cases of burnt or burning cars/buses happened on that 3rd mainland bridge?
