Yesterday afternoon a cab burst into flames on Cadman Plaza West in Brooklyn! Sure, we've seen cabs on fire before — but we still want answers as to why the Crown Victorias seem to be spontaneously combusting. The Brooklyn Eagle reports on yesterday's incident, noting it only took a few minutes before the car was engulfed in flames and charred. The driver told them he was driving two passengers over the Brooklyn Bridge when he noticed there was smoke coming out of the hood. He recalls, "It was just a little smoke. I pulled over and told the passengers to get out. When I opened the hood, I saw it was on fire so I called 911." Neither the passengers nor driver were injured.
