I apologize if posted prior. Was powered by natural gas!

I didn't know that Lada had a NG powered car nor that Russia was so far advanced as to have NG fuelling stations.

I would suggest however that the cause of the explosion was probably human error although Lada's are not exactly known for quality workmanship.

About 15 years go, our city fathers decided to try some LNG powered police cars. An officer was drivng one & lit a cigarette & discovered there was a leak in the system. It blew out all the doors and did not seriously injure the officer - flash burns & hard of hearing. The city didn't buy any more & started a No Smoking policy in the LNG cars.

Looking at that pic, it also looks like a leak either in the attachment to the tank, or elsewhere in the fuel line.
If the Tank itself had gone, there would be little left of the car, OR the pump!

I went to the site that is marked on the lower right corner of the poster. It is all in Russian with all kinds of images. Sort of a hodge podge from all over the world.

Caution though, some women models are featured there!!

Do not go there! Pages will continue to RELOAD AFTER CLOSURE. Must be some sort of Russian thing.

The rest roughly translates as "Dear Departed."
