so... why did the bus topple over in Sun Metro's transit center on Feb 11th when it was on the lift?... the reason it blew up was a it's fuel tank of CNG puncturing when it hit the floor - and two died from burns - that is effing horrible. Hey OSHA, focus on this OSHA "certified" lift, and , not safety glasses!


The video shows a Sun Metro bus falling from a hydraulic lift about 1 p.m. on Feb. 11 at a maintenance garage at the Sun Metro Operations Center, in East El Paso.

It slides off center supports, and I don't see outriggers to keep it balanced on those scissor jacks... it slid off. 

is this the result of getting rid of pits, and buying from the lowest bidder? Why isn't that bus on a 4 point lift under each tire, or each corner?

    A long time ago the company I worked for was looking at producing a CNG powered version of our vehicles. The demo provide by the company producing those tanks assured us that something like this could never happen, the tanks are so well protected.
