@chroniclelive: CCTV footage has captured the dramatic moment a car burst into flames inside the Tyne Tunnel, setting off the advanced water mist fire suppression system

TheDon :

Did they have to pay the toll….as they journey was never completed 🥺

Pete :

I heard it burst into flames because it actually drove at the speed limit inside the tunnel, instead of driving 5-10mph below the speed limit like EVERY SINGLE CAR I ever encounter in the tunnel.

Hendsn :

Remember on the tyne tunnel video everyone complained about them testing the sprinklers, bet theyre grateful now

steve :

tom Scott just did a video on them testing this
