Gas leak after bus struck low tunnel

[Bobjork]

It's chaos in Stockholm today after an empty bus out of service entered a low tunnel and some of the gas tanks (CNG) was ripped of and started to leak.
The tunnel is closed until the bus is towed away and before that is possible the remaining tanks must be secured

Potentially explosive!

With all that's been happening in Stockholm recently an explosive bus is the last thing they need!

Exactly, we don't need that too...

Passed a burned down school today. But they don't know if that was burned for the same reason as in Husby, or if it was people taking parts in riots after a fotball match...

But everything seem to be calmer now and an investigation of the incident that started the riots is now ongoing.

Sorry Admin, I know this is well off topic, but I just cannot believe that there are riots in Sweden!

Just hope you and yours are not affected Bobjork.

The riots are over (but costed 10 million SEK) and did not effect me as there where no riots in the eastern suburbs. My mom was not affected either, but there were som burned cars and smashed windows where she lives (southern suburbs)

Back to the bus: Noone was injured (but the driver was chocked) and there was chaos in Stockholm because this tunnel is a big part of the traffic system in Stockholm City.
Why the bus driver drove his bus through this tunnel is not known. 3.0 meters is to low for any of the city buses in Stockholm and with a CNG tank on the roof the result is... disaster...
