I feel like this is one of those, "My dog ate my homework" moments, "Hey man, why you late for work", " er...... the bus caught fire"

It's amazing how fast of a knockdown you can have with a reel line. Too bad we disposed of them years ago in the USA.

"Massive" is an inapt description for this fire, though it was probably a bit frightening for those passengers who evacuated the bus. And while very few people commute carrying a tripod for their camera, just in case of such an occasion as this, this photographer either needs to learn how to hold the camera steadier or to drink less.

Someone should notify Guinness of the world's longest epileptic seizure.

Problem is caused when you use a phone camera and zoom in , happened to me too . The bus was spewing out toxic smoke so the person who was filming had to stand away and zoom in for his own safety .

Are we playing 'spot the braincell amongst the hi-viz wearers'?

Was there an earthquake during this entire fire? Shakiest picture I've ever seen.

I agree with R J Smith as at 4:40 the lads can be heard saying where having a bonfire. These guys who work for a highway maintenance company and are all in hi viz just stand and take the mick. Why not use their vehicles with lovely yellow warning lights (and chapter 8 safety markings I bet) and slow approaching traffic to make the road safer or stand in a line encouraging traffic to slow down. Would people rather watch the misfortune of others just to have a laugh?

was this during an earthquake?

Firemen in the UK attend Hogwarts School of Firefighting. There they learn magical incantations, so when they arrive at the scene of a fire they pull out their magical wands and shout "Expecto Patronum". The fire puts itself out.

how did it manage to set alight?

Yes well done to you, stay safe my friend...

how big was the quake

Is it just me but when someone tell me something like this happens my heart beeps

Stay still!!!!

When smoke is like that as soon as rush off oxygen gets in it will go up I've studied fire investigation and firefighting

No any fire extinguisher on board?

Top marks to the Firefighters there, I guess the parts from the front could be used as spares but had that been an Enviro 200/400, it would be turned into a gutted shell. I assume that bus went on a rollback truck to PSV Barnsley for scrap I am assuming.
