Electric vehicles are literally the most retarded thing ever.
Batteries can not be extinguished.
You can’t even transport these cars; they just blow up.
Imagine driving one and knowing that at some point it is going to blow up and you’ll be burned alive.
>Crew evacuated, 16 injured, 1 dead.
>New reports estimate the fire can blaze for weeks, possibly dis-regulating local fishing industry indefinitely.
As per state news article:
>Rijkswaterstaat sees to it that the salvage takes place, but ultimately that is the responsibility of the Japanese shipowner. According to various maritime media, it concerns Shoei Kisen Kaisha. That is also the owner of the Ever Given, the freighter that blocked the Suez Canal in 2021.
Nothing to see here.
