00:01Yeah, we're at the corner of 44 in Lindbergh.

00:05Your eyes are not deceiving you.

00:07That is a dump truck fire right there.

00:10Oh, God!

00:12Holy , baby!

00:14Whoo!

00:17And there ain't no traffic.

00:19There ain't no cops.

00:21Ain't nobody slowing this down.

00:24Damn mother .

00:26Whoa!

00:28Holy crap!

00:30She's gonna blow!

00:34Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the state of America as we speak.

00:38A dump truck on fire.

00:40This is America.

00:43Wow.

00:45This is a dump truck on fire at the corner of 44 in Lindbergh.

00:51This is a major intersection in the county of St. Louis

00:55in the metropolitan area of Missouri.

00:57My goodness.

00:58Can you believe what you're seeing right now?

01:00The driver is nowhere in sight.

01:03The cops have finally blocked stuff off.

01:06I've been here for about 10 minutes.

01:08The fire department is still nowhere to be seen.

01:12So I'm here at the corner of 44 in Lindbergh where a dump truck is on fire.

01:20The contents of the dump truck have exploded.

01:23This is probably a good time to remind you not to throw away lithium-ion batteries.

01:30The cops are finally starting to come here and block off the streets.

01:35I was here for at least five minutes without any kind of, you know, safety measures in place.

01:41So, whoa!

01:42My God.

01:43What an emergency.

01:44Oh, man.

01:45What a fire.

01:46What a fire response.

01:47The dump truck is out.

01:52Rescue EMS on the scene.

01:5744 in Lindbergh is going to be back.

02:00Lindbergh is going to be backed up.

02:01Oh, about a mile.

02:03About as far as it gets.

02:05Oh, my God.

02:06What a traffic.

02:08Wow.

02:09And that took about, I'd say, 10 minutes from the explosion to get here.

02:16Pretty wild.

02:17Pretty crazy.

02:18Don't throw your batteries away, people.

02:21Don't throw that laptop in the trash.

02:25Wow.

02:27This is whatever it takes.

02:29Let's go St. Louis PD.

02:31Right.

02:32So about 20 minutes ago, that dump truck exploded.

02:37I thought I was right there.

02:39Yeah, I saw it.

02:40So this is what, this is what happens if you put a laptop battery, e-cig battery, lithium-ion

02:47battery into the trash.

02:49This is, yeah, this is, they explode.

02:51Oh.

02:52Yeah.

02:53Isn't that wild?

02:54And this is, this man's life in jeopardy and he's driving this shit.

02:57Yeah.

02:58And look at these firemen too.

02:59Their lives are in jeopardy too.

03:00They're harnessed up on these racks above all this.

03:03Look at this guy carrying this ladder, dude.

03:05How brave do you gotta be to go up to that?

03:07Right.

03:08I don't care what kind of fire suppression you have on it.

03:10It's still smoking.

03:11Yeah.

03:12It's still smoking.

03:13Yeah.

03:14Wow.

03:15Wow.
