Safari taxi bursts into flames
According to an eyewitness, the blue Safari vehicle burst into flames shortly after the driver stopped and disembarked.
"Thank God it hadn't any passenger," said one eyewitness. Reports are that by the time firefighters got to the scene there was not much they could have done to save the taxi but just to put out the inferno.
This incident is said to have occurred sometime around 5:00 -5:15 p.m. today.
Speaking exclusively with this news site, owner of the ill-fated Safari taxi Mr Michael Herbert was loud in praise that nothing worse occurred.
He said he was elevating the hill when the bus developed problems resulting in it going up in flames. But things took a different twist after the firefighters put out the fire and had left. “We were waiting for the firemen to come down after putting out the fire and when they finished putting out the blaze the bus rolled back down the hill.”
“I guess when they finished out it I guess they didn’t check it … so with the cable and everything burn the truck gave way,” said the owner. "With what took place God is good, with what could have happen with that turning down the hill there, God is Good, God was in the midst that’s all I could say,” Herbert said.
The driver was not in a position to assess the extent of his losses to the dollar at the time of speaking with this news site.

Yes, Give thanks unto the Lord for He is good: for his mercy endureth forever.
He is not willing that any should perish....
God allows evil and tragedy, but he keeps it from getting too far out of control. Otherwise planet earth would be almost empty by now from global nuclear war or massive worldwide disease. For example, you see the evil going on in the middle east and you wonder why we are not now in an extinction-level world war 3. So, yes God is good.
Now I'm not saying this is the truck driver's fault. But this almost-tragedy could have been the result of poor maintenance decisions, or shoddy parts, or a vehicle that was on the road too long. It is an experience from which to learn.
You god is a loving god, a caring god, a forgiving god but if you don't believe in him he will sentence you to eternal pain and suffering in your fictional hell. Nice guy! Please for a moment stop and think about some of the stupidness said in the name of religion - any of the many religions and even more gods.
