...at least they didn't get hurt.

Note about the car: don't get one.

A bit of a fire sale there.

I read the story and it appears that the driver bailed out of the moving van the moment it caught fire ... leaving the guy in back to fend for himself in a pilotless, moving, fireball ... don't think I'd want that driver covering my six.

See now, if I was Canon, i'd give the guy a new lens, and ask for the burnt one to put in a glass box on display.
