Gabe Roder, a spokesman for Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services, said [B]the plumber used a fob key from across the street to open the car shortly before 7 a.m. The electronic key caused a small spark which ignited the gas, either from a leaky or open tank.[/B] Roder said the plumber was not injured; however the young man has been taken to St. Paul's Hospital for treatment of shock. No residents were harmed, said Roder, but two men who were in the car driving past the explosion are being treated for non-life threatening injuries. "[B]Vancouver Fire would like to remind all citizens that it is dangerous to both store and to transport any type of gas, be it gasoline, propane or acetylene in the passenger compartment of a vehicle[/B]," said Roder.

I'm glad nobodies hurt.
Damn that title got me
Why is this such a big deal? Cars blow up all the time in GTA IV. Pfft. This isn't news.
Car fires happen all the time because people never get their engine checked for leaky hoses and also people getting in and out of their car while filling up in the winter. Actually only 15% of car fires happen from inside the passenger part. Somewhat related: skip to :58 for fire [video=youtube;tuZxFL9cGkI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuZxFL9cGkI[/video]

It's more a miracle the gas didn't spontaneously ignite when someone was walking by.
The car is very sorry and promised it won't do it again
fuck that car looks like a cut open baked potato
