Watching this unfold was pretty interesting.
I'm guessing that the cells were actually LiFePO4's, and not NMC or similar, because of the way things burned.
it's good that the batteries didn't really burn long. I wonder what was burning was all the rubber/plastic/etc and when the unit tipped over, it smashed the contacts and shorted out and caught the other stuff on fire
It was mostly how no one knew really how to work with it. The battery container only had 1 explosion which was probably due to pressure building up in the container and not the cells themselves.
What surprised me is the amount of time it took to resolve the problem. It could happen on any road and I suppose not every city has the necessary equipment to approach a problem of this kind.
