Another lithium battery has exploded. I was told this hardly ever happens, but I have been doing a lot of stories on these dangerous and deadly fires lately. Just a couple of days ago, two electric cars outside of an Atlanta-area Whole Foods burst into flames. And now, we have this sad story out of Queens, New York, where an electric bike caught fire and killed 8 people. The saddest part of this story is that the person who died was an 8-year-old little girl. CBS reported that investigators in Queens say an e-bike sparked a house fire that killed an 8-year-old girl and injured two other people Saturday.
As CBS2’s Alecia Reid reports, within minutes of getting the call around 7:30 a.m., firefighters rushed to put out the blaze at the home on 130th Street in College Point.
Eight-year-old Stephanie Villa Torres was in the third-floor apartment at the time of the fire. The young girl suffered smoke inhalation and was rushed to Booth Memorial Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
“It’s very sad to hear about. I heard that the father couldn’t get to her in time, which is really heartbreaking when you think about it,” College Point resident Sam Chen said.
But this seems to be a real problem. Look what happened in India recently when more electric bike batteries burst into flames. In once incident, 8 people died.
You can watch the video below:

Watch how this bike bursts into flames, it’s horrific.
In a horrific incident, a SaharaEVOLs-made electric scooter caught fire in Andheri, Mumbai. This incident pertaining to fires in EVs is the fourth one of its kind since September.
By seeing this video will raise questioning about user safety wheather it is safe or not. pic.twitter.com/mthPl2qcFz

These are such sad stories.
But what’s odd, is if you talk about this, and say these batteries are dangerous, you’re treated the same exact way as when you mention the vaccine in a negative way.
All hell breaks loose.
You’re told everything is fine and “experts,” say there’s nothing to worry about and you’re a hysterical conspiracy theorist, and these are the safest batteries on earth.
It’s gotten to the point in this country that you’re not even allowed to discuss freely how you feel about something without an army of people coming after you.
That’s called social Marxism, and it’s running amuck right now.
