Heating up at Carowinds in NC
It looks like an XLT went up (well, down) in flames yesterday at a local amusement park. I know there is always speculation that these images are PhotoPhopped, so I thought I would just post a link to the news channel website to see the pics. They will definitely burn flat out to the ground.

From those pics and the video it really looks like something in the back of the truck, possibly gas can in truck bed, as that looks to be where the real heat was.. the floorboards are still there so I would doubt fuel tank on truck. I had an early 80's GMC that burned up in a similar fashion from a short in the drivers side power seat and you could see from the burn pattern where the hot spot was. looked eerily similar to this

Just to clarify, I am not sure if they have determined the cause of the blaze, or even which car it started in. I didn't want to imply that the F150 was the cause of the fire. It may or may not have been. I don't know what they have determined thus far. I just saw it on the news this morning and thought I would share.
