CNG Bus Explosion puts 22 CNG buses off the roads
LTA has issued a ban of a model line of CNG Buses today pending investigations of an explosion which involves a CNG bus, killing the driver last month.
The bus models manafcatured by King Long were pulled off the roads as a safety measure while investigation are ongoing. These buses operates under Sun Gee Travel. Sun Gee declined to comment on the incident.
The buses has been on the roads for around 2 - 3 years and has served tourists and delegates for events such as the recent Youth Olympic Games.
Concern is raised on the safety of CNG vehicles after another explosion involving a CNG bus occured the same week in Seoul, South Korea sending nearby pedestrians into panic. Only 18 people were injured.
SBST's 12 units of Volvo B10BLE CNG models are not affected by this ban.

No amount of engineering would had prevented this
I will be worried if no explosions happen
This is not human error. Its an act of God
This is a once-in-50-years incident
If we were to allow 5 buses to explode, let it be. It's for everyone's good
Its an honest mistake, let's move on

U might want to take a look at the video, it was a rather large explosion right smack in the middle of city and near cars. Perhaps thats why the "Only" was used.
