2020-01-10 - Van bursts into flame then crashes into rickshaw and ignites that too, in coastal Karachi (Pakistan), 9 killed:

http://www.aaj.tv/english/national/at-least-8-people-killed-as-van-catches-fire-in-karachi/
Quote:"Meanwhile, a bomb disposal squad ruled out the possibility of the fire erupting due to explosives. No trace of explosives were found from the van, the team declared. They suspected that a short-circuit could have ignited a spark which led to a fire breaking out, that was further intensified by CNG leakage and petrol cans kept inside the van. In his statement given to police on Friday night, the affected rickshaw driver, Murad Baig, said that he was passing by the site of the incident when he saw a burning vehicle heading his way through his rickshaw’s rearview mirror. He said that he had not even overcome the shock of such a sight when the van crashed into his rickshaw. However, he quickly jumped out of the rickshaw, which was instantly engulfed by the flames and gutted."

2020-01-05 - Woman, 35, bursts into flame and burns to death while walking down street in coastal Chennai (India):

http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/chennai/woman-killed-in-choolaimedu-as-underground-power-cable-bursts/article30488961.ece
Quote: "'At around 8 pm, we were sitting by the road when Leema came to the grocery store in the street. She was speaking on the phone as she walked past the electric box. Suddenly, she froze as though she had suffered an electric shock and within moments we heard a loud noise, saw sparks and she was engulfed in flames. People from the grocery store rushed and covered her with a blanket to put out the fire,' said P Aruna, who saw the tragedy unfold as she was feeding her child."
Quote: "When asked about the incident, a Tangedco official said, 'We have asked the police for CCTV footage for clarity. Theoretically, there is no possibility of a leak from the underground wire that would lead to a blast of fire. The wire was not protruding from the ground and it was sufficiently buried to avoid a leak. There is no possibility for electrocution as the woman was wearing slippers.'"
Note: Not buying the electrocution angle. The electric company there says that couldn't happen and they've never seen this before - I believe them. She didn't touch anything. Could the ground have been electrified? Sure, maybe, but A) she was wearing shoes and was insulated from the ground, and B) if that was the problem then the people who rushed to her aid would have gotten electrocuted and burned too, but they didn't. Sooooo...what does that leave? The one thing she did come into contact with was the atmosphere. So I suspect that something electrical in the area ignited the AIR ITSELF, a small pocket of it anyway, which then ignited her clothes and burned her to death. But the air isn't flammable, you say? It is if there's enough methane in it, and nobody would smell that because it's odorless. When the gas storage site in Aliso Canyon was belching methane into the atmosphere in California, the government halted all flights in that area because they were scared something electrical in planes or helicopters would ignite that gas. The only other possibility I can see in this case is that this woman's clothes had become unknowingly saturated with methane (again, it's odorless, so she'd never know) and static electricity from her clothes ignited the methane in her clothes, which ignited her clothes and burned her to death. She's not the first person to burst into flame and burn to death while walking down a street either, though she might be the first I've seen this happen to in India. Usually people burn to death in India when their cars burst into flame while they're driving.
Also, none of these events are 'spontaneous combustion' of PEOPLE. People are mostly water so it's hard to ignite our bodies. What's happening is spontaneous combustion of clothing and occasionally hair. But when your clothes are saturated with methane then the fire will burn very hot, hot enough to kill you. One guy who burst into flame on his morning walk in coastal London was burned so badly that his internal organs were burned. It was winter when he burst into flame and burned to death though, so he was undoubtedly wearing lots of thick winter clothing. Anyway, it's clothing that's the problem in these incidents...

http://www.time24.news/2020/01/charred-body-found-in-motorhome-at-odivelas-dam.html
Quote: "The corpse of a man, completely charred, was found near the Odivelas Dam, about four kilometers from the town of the same name in Ferreira do Alentejo. The body was found around 6 pm on Wednesday by a patrol of the Ferreira do Alentejo GNR station that was making a rounds around the county and detected a fully consumed motorhome, by a fire."
Quote: "The Odivelas Dam, which is next to the National Road 257, in the connection between Odivelas (Ferreira do Alentejo) and Alvito, is very popular with foreign caravans, as well as a campsite, it also has a picnic area. The banks of the reservoir are widely used by motorhomes, as they can be without limitations on dirt roads, in areas surrounded by thick trees."
Note: Sounds like a great place to burn to death in an RV! This is the 1st RV to burn in 2020, and this is the 1sth deadly RV fire in 2020...
