Remember the news that a ship was afire near Alaska? The ship has sunk along with its cargo of electric automobiles. Insurer Allianz had warned shippers that batteries of EV's are prone to start fires. Crew members acknowledged that the fire was unstoppable most likely as batteries in the autos spread the fire in the holds.
Fortunately, all crew members were taken off the burning vessel as it drifted in the Pacific Ocean. Now this hulk lies at the bottom of the sea, to rust and pollute the environment for the next few centuries.
Hmmmm. How does such an event take place in these modern times of electronic monitoring, alarm systems, fire prevention technology? Hmmm. Some 'Splaining needed.
