Up In Flames
I hope your summer vacation went better than this young family's. Their van burst into flames on a mountain highway in Canada, probably from overheated brakes. They managed to escape with some of their belongings, but what puzzled me is why they didn't disconnect the trailer with the two full tanks of propane. I stopped to make sure the people were all right and then cleared the area before the tanks blew up.

A great photo and a great story. Glad everyone is ok! If you know who the poor family are, send them a copy of the photos you took for their vacation album. -ARchiePINDORIUS 06/09/2008 7:31

Well insured I hope. Fifty years from now and sitting on their rockers on the porch they'll say// "remember that tourin holiday when the camper blew up?...""Yeah honey".
"And yon hero that saved our lives?"
"Yeah honey"
......"Couldn't stop takin pictures."
"Yeah honey."
"Wonder what ever happened to that fellar."

This is the nightmare of every family going on (summer Holiday). It might be straightforward to you, but still it is brave to help such people out when in trouble. You mentioned the tanks - what if they would explode?Cheers

Most likely they were so shocked that they didn't even think about it, alternatively they were so afraid it cold blow up the moment they try to disconnect it that they just didn't dare to...What a shot!!!! LG Petra
