This Car Is Totaled,

every window blown out,

 the metal on the doors looks deformed by the blast, the rear bumper is barely hanging on, the tail lights are all blown up and out of their sockets, and even the roof of the vehicle appears detached, passers-by and residents on Fountain Street, in Halifax, UK, were startled by a powerful explosion at around 3.30 p.m. on Saturday. Witnesses said the blast was “enormous”, damaging the windows of several businesses and shaking up entire homes. People took to Twitter to report the blast minutes after it occurred, and while some indicated that it was a car explosion, no one new why it had blown up,

but the man sitting in it did, all he did was lite a cigarette, and the rest as they say is history, the good news is as the West Yorkshire Police stated, “The owner fortunately sustained only minor injuries but this could have been worse.” but what caused this massive explosion? again from West Yorkshire Police, “The owner of a car parked on that street and had used an air freshener can but not ventilated his car before lighting his cigarette,” all of this destruction form the over use of an air freshener? apparently so! photographs West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service, note to smokers, open the windows of your car before lighting up if you use an air freshener, I guess it has some sort of highly inflammable solvent in it formula, I wonder if you were a non smoker and used said air freshener without opening the windows, would inhaling the fumes impair your driving?
