This is now the 5th event that I know of involving a motor or vehicle starting itself. This may be because a fire involving hydrogen sulfide's reactivity with copper might melt away insulation on wiring and the vehicle then basically 'hot-wires' itself and starts its own engine. And then you end up with a 'ghost vehicle' starting itself and moving around on its own, quite possibly while it's burning, as in this case...2013-05-02 -

Wallace Tunnel — which carries traffic from Interstate 10 under the Mobile River, Vega said. The river runs south past Mobile and into Mobile Bay, which in turn flows into the Gulf of Mexico."Quote: "A crew that was cleaning fuel barges in Mobile Bay likely caused a spark the triggered an explosion and critically burned three workers."Note: When was the last time a spark from a cleaning crew caused two fuel barges to explode? Oh right, NEVER. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, like that in machinery that might be used by a cleaning crew. So, some hydrogen sulfide hits some electrified copper, a spark is generated, which ignites whatever hydrogen sulfide and/or methane is blowing around, and that causes a fire, and that ends up resulting in both barges exploding and burning. So, they're probably telling the truth, in a sense, but not ALL of the truth. That's the best way to perpetrate a lie, by the way - mix in enough truth to sell the story, so you can slide the deception right on by beneath whatever element of truth you throw in as a coating...2013-04-24 -
