After the fire on the RoRo ship Freemantle Highway caused by an ICE car which destroyed hundreds of cars. There is yet another fire accident caused by an ICE car which damaged hundreds of cars.

What is common between both these incidents is, EVs were blamed initially, some right wing media ran headlines against EVs only to be silenced after it is known that an ICE car is involved.

The blaze caused the building to suffer a "significant structural collapse". Bedfordshire Fire and Rescue Service believed the cause was accidental.

The fire started at about 20:45 BST and no serious injuries were reported.

Tens of thousands of passengers are believed to have been affected by flight delays. The first commercial flights resumed just after 15:00 BST.

Four firefighters and a member of airport staff were treated for the effects of breathing in smoke as they battled the huge blaze.

It broke out on level three of the terminal two car park and was thought to have started in a diesel car and spread rapidly.

One witnessed said he saw an explosion on the roof of the car park followed by a "flame that shot across the car park like a flamethrower".

After that, he saw cars exploding "every few minutes".

The car park is believed to hold up to 1,900 vehicles and hundreds of cars may have been damaged.

Andy Hopkinson, Bedfordshire's chief fire officer, said the service had "no intelligence than to suggest it was anything other than an accidental fire".

He said it was thought the fire started in a "diesel-powered" car and then spread through the building.

The car park did not appear to have sprinklers, according to Mr Hopkinson, and he said a recommendation for sprinklers in any redevelopment would be made to the airport.
