A new crash recently in Alabama, but a reminder to something that we all know. Burning Teslas are far more difficult to extinguish than any other car.

    I suspect it’ll stay quite toasty, actually, considering it’s supposed to be extinguishing a self-sustaining exothermic reaction.

      It will provide marginal heat for the first little while, if it’s heating up the water that much, than you need more since it’s not enough…

      And says the one that thinks water freezes top down, I don’t think we will be listening to your opinion here, thanks. You can’t even understand basic physics and you want to argue the finer points, this is a new one lmfao.

        We are not amused huh?

        Besides being the queen of England, what else do you do for a living?

          It was quite funny to hear someone think water freezes top down and use a totally unrelated situational example to try and justify it.

        If the water freezes, that means it puts the fire out. You realize that right?

        But maybe I’m the one who just doesn’t understand physics.

          Of course, now you need to melt the water, without boiling it since the water is contaminated, too able to pump it away for remediation. It’s a logistical nightmare.

          But you realize that just because the water is frozen doesn’t mean the exothermic reaction won’t happen…. Yeah?

          Edit for your edit, yeah you clearly don’t if you seriously think water freezes top down that’s not a body of water…… and ice would stop a self igniting/oxidizing exothermic reaction….

              Where did I say it wouldn’t? Please point it out for the rest of the class yeah?

                  Buddy seems to think this is a catch all solution instead of for incredibly specific situations.

                  So yeah… what else would it be about except for the details….?

                  You also came at me arguing details, although misguided and wrong… the irony lmfao.
