@@thomastaylor6699 actually that is a minimal concern. the real concern is the cracking of the concrete. concrete has a fair amount of trapped moisture in it and when it gets heated it can turn to steam and expand rapidly fracturing the concrete. this is the same reason why wet rocks can explode in campfires
@@MichaelThe-Pyro *"actually that is a minimal concern. the real concern is the cracking of the concrete."* Well, fortunately it is a lot easier to bust up and pour concrete than it is to repair steel bridge members.
@@bricaaron3978 yes, it is that's why when it happens the closure is usually only temporary. If the steel is damaged most of the time the entire section will need to be completely replaced. One issue that does arise is small cracks can form that are overlooked and overtime allows water ingress into conctrated sections and over a few years can cause the steel supports to completely degrade away in that area leading to a structural failure
@@georgeferrante9560 are you including all the cell phone fires/explosions over the years? I remember one year that iPhones were blowing up left and right. Your numbers also don't really show the truth either. If you bring in data from other countries, especially China, you'll see a much larger number of EV fires. It takes less fire retardant to put out a gas fire than it does an EV fire, we're talking anywhere from 3 to 10 times the amount to put out an EV fire. I've also never seen an ICE vehicle catch fire under water, but have seen multiple EVs catch fire when going under water. EVs have caught fire while charging in garages and burned down houses, they have also caught other vehicles on fire while charging at charging stations. If we get in to the cause of ICE fuel fires, most are caused by an accident and rupturing the fuel tank, other than that it's due to fuel system leaks from poor maintenance or age of the vehicle. Most EV fires are caused when charging the vehicle, the others are because the battery gets compromised due to damage (running over something and puncturing the battery) and moisture gets in to the battery, reacting with the lithium, causing a chemical fire to start. As more and more EVs hit the road, and they start to get old, you'll see more EV fires than we currently see.
@@georgeferrante9560Yeah...you should keep parking while charging it in your garage. Gas doesn't spontaneously combust without an igniter. As soon as the temp gets too high, that lithium is a ticking time bomb.

the bridge will be shut down for major repairs since lithium will melt the concrete and the damage will cause it to be replaced and that take a long time.

@@krashd Nothing @stevejones9062 said was nonsense or misinformation. Lithium batteries catch fire from charging, they catch fire from moisture getting in to the battery pack. You can't just shred an EV without removing the battery, which is dangerous and not easy to do. ICE vehicles can be put whole in the crusher/shredder after fluids are drained, which is an easy process that isn't dangerous. EV vehicles have caught fire multiple times in junk yards just sitting there, and take 3-10 times the fire retardant to put out, and you have to use a special fire retardant instead of standard fire fighting foams used.
The trace elements, particularly manganese, that are used in the manufacture of lithium batteries is what actually causes them to catch fire. Sodium batteries are made without those trace elements and don’t catch fire. They also cost just 10% of what lithium batteries do. They’re not used because there’s not as large a profit margin on sodium batteries.

@@humblecourageous3919 of course I don’t doubt you at all. Now let’s look 100 years from now at all the things from these batteries and reclaiming them. I’d say that the batteries will be worse.
@@1953fords We will get better at recycling them which we are currently doing (see below). Inventors will also probably come up with less expensive and longer term batteries. But they are already better than oil. That pipeline explosion in Texas destroyed nearby houses and spewed toxic chemicals for days. The pipelines are everywhere. We have had solar for 22 years (only 3.5 KW) We currently have an electric bill in the negative. We have a 2017 Chevy Volt we bought in 2020. It is gas and electric. We charge it from our solar system. I'm running it on gas right now because the last time we put in gas was June 30, 2024. It's been three months. It was $30 to fill it up then. Green is gonna be a lot cheaper and healthier than gas/oil when it gets going. From Google: Yes, lithium batteries are recyclable, but the process is complex and expensive. Here are some things to know about recycling lithium batteries: Recycling rate Only about 5% of lithium-ion batteries are recycled globally. Recycling process Lithium batteries are typically recycled by shredding them into a powder, then smelting or dissolving them in acid to extract valuable materials. Challenges Recycling lithium batteries is difficult and expensive because lithium is reactive and the batteries are made up of solid, modular cells. Benefits Recycling lithium batteries can help shift the global energy system in a sustainable way. The recovered materials can be used to make new battery cathodes and anodes. Handling The EPA recommends recycling lithium-ion batteries at certified battery electronics recyclers. When handling lithium batteries, you should place each battery in a separate plastic bag and cover the terminals with non-conductive tape.
@@billdang3953 We have had solar for 21 years - a small 3.5 KW system. It provides all of our house electricity and charges our Chevy Volt. We rarely buy gas. We have a negative electric bill. You won't believe how much money you will save going green. Some day I bet electricity will be free.
It exists but tldr “battery fires are very hot and still require time to burn out, there is a possibility batteries will explode and wreck our firefighters”. It is not quick like a paper fire.

E.v is the answer, people! Forcing the trillions of dollar's switch on society immediately after an economy crushing pandemic... is deffinetly to help! Not crush the working class.
Apparently you can't really put these fires out because they don't require an external oxidising agent. Presumably we're going to be seeing a lot more of these explosions and fires in the years ahead.
You can put a lithium battery on a plane, 100 Watt hours or less for personal use* in carry-on, over 150 Watt hours has to be sent as air freight with special packaging. *100 to 150 watt hours are by permit from your airline, maximum of one as I recall, also as carry on.
There are electric planes now, cargo and passenger. Governments have been pushing for it. The biggest problem is the batteries weigh so much, so cargo and baggage space is very limited. If an accident happens when landing, the EV plane will shut down the airport for a much longer period than a fuel plane will.
What a joke this go green has become! Now you have fireman standing around scratching their asssss because they say they can’t put it out! Give me a break😂
could take up to 24hrs to burn itself out. Wonder how structurally sound the bridge underneath the truck will be after 24hrs of super-hot lithium-ion batteries burning through it?
They should stop making EV’s with Lithium Ion. LiFePo4 chemistry is safe, though not as energy dense, and the solid state batteries in the pipeline I “think” are safe as well. Also, vehicles should be Plug-In Hybrid, instead of full electric. That way 90% of the time you can use your 50 mile range for daily driving, then you have a smaller gasoline engine for long range driving, or when the grid is out. A plug-in EV also has a much smaller battery so it is less waste in 8-10 years when the battery fails.
Those doors blew open like that trailer just ate Taco Bell

Wow these comments... those villainous batteries should be sent back to hell!
...like no one has ever seen a gasoline tanker roll over, catch fire, and explode!
Wonder how many EV cars in the line-up ran out of juice while waiting. Like an occluded blood vessel just adding to the clot.
Zero actually.
EVs only use juice when moving.
@@therewasacrookedman5892
Not really. They aren't perpetual motion EV.
So they eventually DID run out of juice.
Gotcha.
Try again.
0. Could be there for days w air con and radio blasting if not moving.
Unless using AC, Heating, and or radio
@@operationpaperclip3952only accessories draw energy when stopped. Air conditioning or heating would be the main draw, but the weather is currently moderate.
Lion batteries don't require an external ignition source, the wreckage has to be treated as a hazard for weeks to months just for the risk of re-ignition where an ICE vehicle could be shredded in a scrap yard within hours of the paper work being completed.
but but....greta doomsburg says we should all be driving EV cause they're so safe and good for the environment
Absolute nonsense, Steve, and a definite contender for the Goebbels prize in the misinformation category.
@@krashd exactly what part of the comment was "misinformation"?
@@krashd Nothing @stevejones9062 said was nonsense or misinformation. Lithium batteries catch fire from charging, they catch fire from moisture getting in to the battery pack. You can't just shred an EV without removing the battery, which is dangerous and not easy to do. ICE vehicles can be put whole in the crusher/shredder after fluids are drained, which is an easy process that isn't dangerous.
EV vehicles have caught fire multiple times in junk yards just sitting there, and take 3-10 times the fire retardant to put out, and you have to use a special fire retardant instead of standard fire fighting foams used.
The trace elements, particularly manganese, that are used in the manufacture of lithium batteries is what actually causes them to catch fire. Sodium batteries are made without those trace elements and don’t catch fire. They also cost just 10% of what lithium batteries do. They’re not used because there’s not as large a profit margin on sodium batteries.
These are the same batteries used in cellphones,e-scooters,EV'S,laptops,etc...
Lithium explosive???
Looks almost like a mobile data center.
Yeah looked complicated inside!
Some people tell themselves these batteries are GOOD for the environment..
Just don't get them 💧 wet😂
@mansfielddeathtraprerecordings not to mention all the energy, diesel fuel , electrical power it takes to extract the material transport it refine it and manufacture the batteries.
Yes, and some people say any change is bad for the environment even when we’re dealing with obvious pollution
@@neilkurzman4907 the pollution from mining transporting manufacturing and burning batteries. Then burning fossil fuels to create electricity to charge the batteries. Yeah batteries powered vehicles are not environmentally friendly and are not helping the planet . The internal combustion engine will power the world for another century. At least.

Another perfect example why combustible engines will never be replaced

That won’t screw up traffic to badly on a Friday afternoon, Saturday morning or Saturday afternoon. Should be A OK!
This is rhe third lithium incident wher a semi " turns over " One took place on the 10 freeway on the way vack to Los Angeles traffic backed up for miles in 106-116; heat. One in Arizona.....now this one today.....traffic backed up for miles ....Hmmmmmm.....clumsy driving ?
Shipping containers are very unstable and they are poorly loaded and often overloaded and when the driver turns or brakes abruptly the load can shift. Not to mention most of the port drivers are unskilled labor.
@brucewestoby Don't forget the one on I 15 in August near Barstow, and one on Donner Pass a few days later!

Terrible drivers. DOT only licenses illegal immigrants as CDL

Can you imagine if most everyone had EV’s! You wouldn’t be able to go anywhere. With these battery fires. Ok we are monitoring it from 1000 feet away and 🤷🏻♂️ sorry this road is closed till the fire dies out. No pollutants there! So let’s say a few or 5 happen to ignite. You could have areas all over a given town or state with all these roads shut down for days at a time. 🤦🏻♂️ Ok damn it today I can’t take the freeway cause there is a Rivian on fire at exit 25 and has to burn out 1-2 days. so have to take the other main road around. Oh wait a tesla just ignited and now that street is blocked for 1-2 days 🤦🏻♂️ Sign me up
Haven't you seen the pipeline explosion in Texas? Much worse than a lithium battery fire. Those gas pipelines are everywhere in the US. Also there are orphan gas/oil wells all over the US from as far back as 100 years. They are spewing toxic material constantly but costs $70,000 or more per well to fix. There are over 130,000 orphan wells in the US that they know about. Oil companies go bankrupt and the tax payers are left with the toxic waste and the cost to fix them. (My grandfather, born in 1880 hauled lumber using horses for the wooden derricks in Oklahoma. My father worked for Mobil oil production for 40+ years. My brother worked in the oil fields and a refinery. He died at age 57 from his work in the oil industry even though he had gone back to school and become a 6th grade teacher for 19 years.
@@humblecourageous3919 of course I don’t doubt you at all. Now let’s look 100 years from now at all the things from these batteries and reclaiming them. I’d say that the batteries will be worse.
@@1953fords We will get better at recycling them which we are currently doing (see below). Inventors will also probably come up with less expensive and longer term batteries. But they are already better than oil. That pipeline explosion in Texas destroyed nearby houses and spewed toxic chemicals for days. The pipelines are everywhere. We have had solar for 22 years (only 3.5 KW) We currently have an electric bill in the negative. We have a 2017 Chevy Volt we bought in 2020. It is gas and electric. We charge it from our solar system. I'm running it on gas right now because the last time we put in gas was June 30, 2024. It's been three months. It was $30 to fill it up then. Green is gonna be a lot cheaper and healthier than gas/oil when it gets going.
From Google: Yes, lithium batteries are recyclable, but the process is complex and expensive. Here are some things to know about recycling lithium batteries: Recycling rate Only about 5% of lithium-ion batteries are recycled globally. Recycling process Lithium batteries are typically recycled by shredding them into a powder, then smelting or dissolving them in acid to extract valuable materials. Challenges Recycling lithium batteries is difficult and expensive because lithium is reactive and the batteries are made up of solid, modular cells. Benefits Recycling lithium batteries can help shift the global energy system in a sustainable way. The recovered materials can be used to make new battery cathodes and anodes. Handling The EPA recommends recycling lithium-ion batteries at certified battery electronics recyclers. When handling lithium batteries, you should place each battery in a separate plastic bag and cover the terminals with non-conductive tape.
Forcing everybody to exclusively use BEV's is the first step, next will be rationing and restrictions on electrical power.
@@billdang3953 We have had solar for 21 years - a small 3.5 KW system. It provides all of our house electricity and charges our Chevy Volt. We rarely buy gas. We have a negative electric bill. You won't believe how much money you will save going green. Some day I bet electricity will be free.
So this is the future..is your ev gonna catch fire going through puddles of water..
"News" the original clickbait.
Dang. Exploding 😅
Now imagine what they do to your insides. 😮
I see trains, not trucks... People always like to exaggerate situations.
Why is a tractor trailer rig carrying fully charged LI batteries?
Isn't it safer to charge the batteries at the final destination?
Wow !!! Remembered the pagers , Walky talky batteries explosions in Lebanon !!!
How dangerous and fatal was 😢
It wasn't the batteries that exploded inside the pagers, there was a explosive disguised as a battery that was installed!
Those were bombs not batteries.
Yea....this is exactly the same....🙄
That looks very very environmentally friendly
And why hasn't someone invented a chemical to put this fire out!??
There is forever chemical foam that helps a lot but it’s not washable with water and it’s hazard chemical it’s not good to wash it off to ocean waters
It exists but tldr “battery fires are very hot and still require time to burn out, there is a possibility batteries will explode and wreck our firefighters”. It is not quick like a paper fire.
Might have something to do with the waste generated and being "un-green"??
This is my worst mightmare of having an EV parked in my garage charging overnight
This is what the Democrats want go green😂😂

Apparently you can't really put these fires out because they don't require an external oxidising agent. Presumably we're going to be seeing a lot more of these explosions and fires in the years ahead.
Hahahaaaa 😆🫵.

🤤😷💙💩🧠
Lithium batteries are so dangerous.
I hope that these batteries are not allowed to be cargo on commercial flights.
You can put a lithium battery on a plane, 100 Watt hours or less for personal use* in carry-on, over 150 Watt hours has to be sent as air freight with special packaging.
*100 to 150 watt hours are by permit from your airline, maximum of one as I recall, also as carry on.
🫵🏻🤡💩🧠
There are electric planes now, cargo and passenger. Governments have been pushing for it. The biggest problem is the batteries weigh so much, so cargo and baggage space is very limited. If an accident happens when landing, the EV plane will shut down the airport for a much longer period than a fuel plane will.
bidenomics.
Elon is a Trump supporter...
Right when the strike was about to happen? This hasn't been accidental for years.
What a joke this go green has become! Now you have fireman standing around scratching their asssss because they say they can’t put it out! Give me a break😂
So are this people going to wait two months for the fire to stop?
what if this kills the oceans wild life. what if this makes alot of people sick the fire trucks are more than 300 feet away
So there is no way to put out these fires? That seems like a problem.
Chinese battery bombs?
🤣🫵🏻🤡💩🧠
I know this normally doesn't happen but as far as i know not a placard load.
Did you see the video of the 2 gas tanker trucks involved in a head on collision that exploded in Florida this morning?
could take up to 24hrs to burn itself out. Wonder how structurally sound the bridge underneath the truck will be after 24hrs of super-hot lithium-ion batteries burning through it?
Eva’s are so environmentally friendly!
Very Sad 😢
They should stop making EV’s with Lithium Ion. LiFePo4 chemistry is safe, though not as energy dense, and the solid state batteries in the pipeline I “think” are safe as well. Also, vehicles should be Plug-In Hybrid, instead of full electric. That way 90% of the time you can use your 50 mile range for daily driving, then you have a smaller gasoline engine for long range driving, or when the grid is out. A plug-in EV also has a much smaller battery so it is less waste in 8-10 years when the battery fails.
Good thing Gav insisted on EV trucks in port instead of hybrid trucks. His deep engineering expertise comes in handy!
Thanks joe.
Is that a dangerous goods route?
How do you tip a semi over on a straight road?
Look at the damages those batteries cause!
