A new crash recently in Alabama, but a reminder to something that we all know. Burning Teslas are far more difficult to extinguish than any other car.

    How long do you seriously think it takes thousands of gallons of water to freeze? Especially with a heat source they are trying to extinguish? Can you seriously not accept that there are professionals who know a lot more about this than you?

      That entirely on the temperature outside and cannot be answered, you should know this lmfao….

      And you’re supposed to leave it submerged for 7-14 days. How long do you think water will stay warm before freezing……?

        I suspect it’ll stay quite toasty, actually, considering it’s supposed to be extinguishing a self-sustaining exothermic reaction.

          It will provide marginal heat for the first little while, if it’s heating up the water that much, than you need more since it’s not enough…

          And says the one that thinks water freezes top down, I don’t think we will be listening to your opinion here, thanks. You can’t even understand basic physics and you want to argue the finer points, this is a new one lmfao.

            If the water freezes, that means it puts the fire out. You realize that right?

            But maybe I’m the one who just doesn’t understand physics.

              Of course, now you need to melt the water, without boiling it since the water is contaminated, too able to pump it away for remediation. It’s a logistical nightmare.

              But you realize that just because the water is frozen doesn’t mean the exothermic reaction won’t happen…. Yeah?

              Edit for your edit, yeah you clearly don’t if you seriously think water freezes top down that’s not a body of water…… and ice would stop a self igniting/oxidizing exothermic reaction….

                All I hear you saying is your admission that this method works to put the fire out.

                  Where did I say it wouldn’t? Please point it out for the rest of the class yeah?

                    Cool, then all your other objections are just quibbling about the details.

            We are not amused huh?

            Besides being the queen of England, what else do you do for a living?

              It was quite funny to hear someone think water freezes top down and use a totally unrelated situational example to try and justify it.
