The Clark County Fire Department confirmed that it responded to a vehicle fire in the early morning hours of Wednesday.

“… In a news conference, Clark County Fire Department Deputy Chief Thomas Touchstone said that as first responders began to extinguish the fire, they "realized at the same time that there were multiple persons with injuries located around the vehicle."

Touchstone said seven people were injured, two of whom were transported to University Medical Center of Southern Nevada in Las Vegas.

Touchstone said officials are working to recover the body from the Cybertruck. Officials asked that the public stay away from the scene for the time being.

The cause of the fire was not immediately clear.“

saw this. Weird if just a coincidence because those trucks are super-expensive modern Pintos.

I saw a couple of those Tesla trucks over the holidays, and they did nothing to change my opinion that those trucks are hideously ugly. I don't care how sophisticated they are supposed to be, they're just ugly, and spending that much money to get one is honestly baffling to me. But in the grand scheme of things it's a minor point, given what Elon may be about to do to our government.

“There is one deceased individual inside the Cybertruck and I don’t know whether it is a male or a female at this time,” McMahill said.

Seven other victims sustained what McMahill described as “minor” injuries as a result of the explosion.

Jeremy Schwartz, acting special agent in charge of the FBI in Las Vegas, also confirmed during the news conference that his team is involved in the investigation. …”

 
Marc Andreesen should know better than that. what a bunch of fucking assholes trump has got surrounding him.

Also, the idea that the most fertile era for technology development was 1870-1914 is a very, very weird thing for a venture capitalist to say. Also, most of the great inventions of that period occurred in Europe. America didn't claim the mantle of innovation until after WWII.

All of the following were created or invented in Europe: internal combustion engine, Bessemer process, pneumatic tire, the theory of relativity, quantum mechanics, most things related to electricity (Faraday, Maxwell, modern power plants, transmission of alternating current), fertilizers, steam turbines, etc.

America can claim credit for the airplane (though not really in that timeframe -- air travel was not widely accessible until much later), the telephone (mostly), the light bulb. Probably more than I'm not thinking of right now, but the point is that most of the technology development in that time took place in Europe.
 


“…
Oscar Terol, who was visiting the United States from Barcelona, said that he was walking toward the hotel entrance with his wife when he stopped at a food cart right before the explosion occurred. “Those 10 seconds were the difference,” he said.

He and his wife stumbled backward and Mr. Terol saw a vehicle with flames and an array of colors shooting out of it that he assumed were fireworks. …”
