PUFF! and Others Suffer.
Not an unusual statement but after you read this news, do give it a spare thought before lighting that white end.
A German bus tour caught on fire after a passenger reportedly sneaked a cigarette, police said. Survivors told police that the fire broke out in the bathroom of the bus as it drove down the A2 highway after a person apparently smoked a cigarette there, police spokesman Stefan Wittke said.
When the door was opened, flames shot out and quickly engulfed the bus, he said.
Twenty people were killed while thirteen others were badly injured with serious burns.
Firefighters combed the scorched wreckage of the bus early Wednesday, trying to put out the fire. The bus had pulled off into an emergency lane before it was engulfed in flames and its back window had been blown out.
Although this happened far, far away -halfway across the world - the impact is so real! This is not the one and only serious accident caused by smoking. It is scary when you imagine the simple act of lighting up could have spelled the end of Germany's high safety measurement, technology and automobile industries. Heaven knows what else it can do to you or your loved ones...
Stop now while you can!
If you don't love yourself, who will?
