In the heart of Manhattan lit up taxi

On Monday in downtown Manhattan suddenly appeared a taxi. The incident took place around 13.30 of the day. Firefighters arrived to the scene on Fifth Avenue between East 38th and 39th Streets immediately. Calls to the hotline 911 continued to arrive for more than an hour from dozens of people-witnesses of the events.

On the street we could hear the explosions, the car literally pounded to pieces, charred debris flew away from the car for several meters.

Fortunately, victims of incident no. The car apparently caught fire due to a failure caused by the extreme heat. Within a few hours he was in the sun. However, this version though is the most likely, yet not confirmed officially by firefighters. The investigation is ongoing.
