Not sure if Velshi is reputable, but if he is, then the chain of events makes absolute sense, especially based on the pitiful explosion we saw.

1) Driver is either driving recklessly, or has autopilot in control. Either loses control at high speeds, or Autopilot does some dumb poo poo
2) Car plows into obstacle, rupturing a battery
3) Batteries explode.

This is me doing a bit of amateur OSINT poo poo, but looking at the facts we know: The explosion was small and not indicative of call bombs, the car was traveling at a high speed before hand, the car may have been a Tesla Model Y

Tesla Model Y's have been known to go loving insane and drive off at massive high speeds without the driver's control. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Kf3I_OyDlI

Teslas are also known to explode, especially when there's battery damage.

This wasn't terrorism, but there was a malicious actor here: Elon Musk, who's unsafe and poorly designed vehicles have claimed two more lives.

Yeah it doesn't look like any kind of conventional explosive going off, it looks like a rapidly burning fire happening and then going out.

So it takes years to get through popular culture that no, it doesn’t actually work like that, (ICE) cars can’t explode from an impact unless there’s a bunch of aerosolized gasoline. And now with EVs, it does actually work like that. One day we are going to be getting questions from children why old movies were so unrealistic with cars staying unexploded after serious accidents.

A hidden DARPA subroutine meant to guide autonomous military vehicles was left in the commercial version of Tesla Autopilot. Having no weapon systems available to it, and no specified targeting criteria, it defaults to the data it was trained on: MENA humans, and accelerates according to its failsafe protocol.

No one ever finds it because “kill_browns.exe” deletes itself after execution of the subroutine. We are unsure why “kill_kids.exe” also runs at the same time, but suspect it’s because the programmer posted a lot in r/childfree.

e: due to SA forum regulations, I had to modify the program nomenclature. use your imagine and search your heart. You know it wasn’t simply called “kill_browns.exe.”

CIDRAP: Undiagnosed pneumonia outbreak in China puts pressure on pediatric hospitals, prompts questions

quote:

An undetermined pneumonia outbreak in China is hitting children hard, with media reports describing overwhelmed children's hospitals in multiple locations, according a post on ProMED Mail, the online reporting system of the International Society for Infectious Diseases. So far, there is no indication that the infections are deadly. But reports of a spike in pneumonia cases in China are eerily similar to early reports of a mystery pneumonia outbreak in late 2019 in Wuhan, which heralded the emergence of COVID-19.

Children's main symptoms are high fever, with some kids developing pulmonary nodules.

The media reports reference swamped pediatric hospitals in multiple locations, including Beijing and Liaoning, which is nearly 500 miles away. Reports also say the pneumonia outbreaks have led to school cancellations and some illnesses in teachers.

Some observers speculate the outbreak could be caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae, commonly known as "walking pneumonia." FluTrackers, an infectious disease news message board, has been tracking reports of overwhelmed pediatric hospitals and clinics and Mycoplasma pneumonia since the beginning of summer.

US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) background information on Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection notes that the bacterium typically causes mild respiratory infections that can sometimes lead to serious illnesses that can require hospitalization. In children, the infection resembles a chest cold. The illness can spread in crowded settings, including schools and college residence halls.

On Twitter (X) today, Krutika Kuppalli, MD, an infectious disease physician who is with the WHO's Health Emergencies Program, said it's possible that China could be seeing a surge in respiratory infections as other countries did their first winter after lockdowns lifted.

She added that China has already reported a Mycoplasma pneumonia surge, but the current outbreaks could be anything. She also said respiratory syncytial virus, COVID-19, and flu could be contributing factors. "The point is we need information."


If it’s only hitting kids hard, and it’s been going on for some time and in distant geographic locations, my hot take is that it’s probably not a novel pathogen. You can bet on that a hundred times and win ninety‐nine of them. Just don’t stake the house on it, because you will lose once per decade.

Be that as it may, “mysterious respiratory illness emerging in China” is the kind of late 2019 vintage I’d prefer never to tap again.

Bill had a quadruple bypass in his 50s. While he’s gotten serious about his health since then, I can’t imagine saying he’s the healthiest compared to someone like Carter who was still building houses with Habitat for Humanity in his 90s.
