Photo of the week: a burning car in Dublin
Back in December 2009, I paid a short visit to Dublin to meet a friend. While he was showing me around Dublin and its surroundings, after visiting Howth cliff, he took me to one of the viewpoints to get a night view of Dublin (which is what I love!)
All of a sudden, I saw a big light coming from my left side. I looked over there and a car just about 10 m away from us exploded. It was kind of jumping up and down a bit until it moved to the middle of the road and trapped us and some more cars at the parking lot.
Thank God there was no one inside. Anyway, we had to wait until the firefighters moved the car a bit when it all burnt out.
I felt like in an action movie, or like watching Cobra 11 and shouting ”NO, SUCH A NICE CAR! SHAME!”

I actually liked it, you know, a bit of action! But would be scary with someone inside!

Wow I bet that was really scary. But like you said, thank God no one was in that car.

No Christian, during the 30 minutes we waited there, the police didn’t know anything and then never cam back to it.

Great photo, especially that second one! Did you ever find out what happened(why it exploded)?

Me too! Was so scared first when we didn’t know anything!

That’s insane! I’m so glad nobody was inside. This is definitely the most interesting photo I’ve seen today :P
