The main reason no one cares about stories like this and why the orange line fire was front page news for a week is because cars and trucks are on fire all the time and train fires are incredibly rare.

If the driver jumped from the overpass onto I-90 below, I’m pretty sure it would have made national news.

There are still some people who use U-Hauls for actual moves and not just to haul sacks of trash around

I heard the FBI was conducting a raid on the UHaul looking for Hillary’s email server and the Hunter Biden laptop. The van burst into flames right before they could get inside.

The U-Haul got so excited about its upcoming date with destiny on Storrow Drive that it burst into flames prematurely, thus missing its shot at immortality.

Someone's fine plan to effect a "storrowflagtion" failed, purely as the result of improperly-timed ignition ...
