Bus fire this morning on Astor Place



An MTA bus caught fire this morning around 11:20 on Astor Place... EVG reader Riian McCormick provided these photos... the bus was apparently empty and idling at the time of the fire... Riian says the FDNY was on it in a hurry... quickly extinguishing the fire... but it did provide for a few dramatic moments...

    I'm no expert, but wasn't there some fuss in the Bible about a burning bus?

    Yes. It had something to do with the first fare hike. Stupid Moses.

    It would be nice if the buses would turn the fuck off when they are parked there, instead of idling. The fire might not have occurred had the engine been OFF.

    Oh. I thought it was the Death Star's ambient smoke.
