http://abc13.com/fire-damages-70-storage-units-holding-boats-and-rvs/3233467/

Quote: "Fire consumes 100 units at boat storage facility in Willis..."

Quote: "A boat storage facility was consumed by flames overnight in Willis, just north of Conroe. According to the Montgomery County Fire Marshal’s Office, fire crews responded at 2 a.m. Monday to the fire after passerby called it in at the Piney Woods Boat and RV Storage, located in the 11800 block of Calvary Road."

Note: I'd highly prefer if they provided a complete and accurate breakdown on the losses, but since they didn't then this'll have to be an estimate. All of the stories agree that at least 70 units burned, and some stories say as many as 100 units were destroyed. A couple of stories even say 'hundreds of boats' burned, but that seems pretty far-fetched. Since some units may have been empty and some may have contained cars or ATVs instead of boats and RVs, I'll call it 20 boats and 20 RVs. That's probably conservative but it should at least be in the ballpark. These are the 269th-288th boats/ships to burn/explode in 2018, and these are the 124th-143rd RVs to burn/explode in 2018...

Quote: "A two-and-a-half-year-old girl suffered severe burns on Monday when a parked car she was playing in burst into flames in Aligarh's Kabir Nagar."

Note: Children and pets have died that way too. Since all vehicles are now randomly-igniting firebombs that can ignite at any time, it's a big risk to leave people or pets unattended in a vehicle, even if it's not running. Likewise, park a vehicle near your home at your own risk. Plenty of homes and apartment buildings have been destroyed by vehicles bursting into flame while parked nearby, sometimes killing people...

Quote: "A passenger plane was evacuated at Moscow's Domodedovo Airport after the cabin filled with smoke. Passengers were forced to evacuate via inflatable slides in the dark. Flight GH-173 to Novosibirsk had to abort take-off late on Tuesday, when the pilots of the Boeing 727 plane noticed smoke in the cockpit. The entire landing strip was immediately blocked off and passengers were ordered to leave the plane via inflatable slides."

Note: This is the 39th aircraft to smoke/burn/explode in 2018...

2018-03-27 - Water tank explodes in Pallabi (Bangladesh), 5 injured:
http://www.dhakatribune.com/bangladesh/dhaka/2018/03/27/5-severely-injured-explosion-reserve-water-tank-pallabi/
http://www.newagebd.net/article/37676/five-critically-burnt-in-mirpur-water-reservoir-explosion

Quote: "According to Yakub’s brother-in-law Md Maruf, the explosion occurred at around 11:30am on Tuesday, when Hasan was brought in inspect and clean the reserve water tank as it was not operating properly. 'Hasan tried to shine a flashlight into the tank to check the water level. As he could still not see properly, a candle was brought to provide more light. When they tried to light the candle, there was an explosion,' he added. DMCH burn unit Resident Dr Partha Shankar Pal said all of the injured were in critical condition, having suffered severe burns in their nasal passages."

Note: The water was probably contaminated with methane. That started happening here in the US some years back in some spots too, where people could light their tap water on fire. The methane won't necessarily STAY in the water though - it'll absorb some, and once it has, it'll emit some too. If it accumulates, say, in a water tank, and you light a candle to see what's up with your water supply...BOOM! The same thing will happen with hydrogen sulfide too, although if that had been the problem in this case then all of those people would probably be dead, not just horribly burned...
