Where in the Philippines?
I actually passed the burned out wreck of this Missan Patrol about an hour after it happened. Caused miles of jam as on-lookers curosity gets the better of it.
Its a terrible thing to have a grenade throw into the car and going off!.
PS: Evening report mentioned that a grenade went off. Don't think there would be any survivors, if that were the case...

Manila. The capital city of 14 million!. This is just off a large shopping mall with 4 lane highway each direction.
Later heard that owner was a "drug dealer"!. Apparently, someone punch the rear windows and threw a grenade in!.
Those in the army before, how many seconds before the grenade explodes when the pin was out ???. 10 secs ?.
PS: My E34 Touring was passing by and saw this, about 45 mins after it happened. My initial thoughs were fuel tank fire but I was stump as to how the fire started at the rear end while 1/3 of front hood seems clean and the rest of the SUV was burned black (as if a bomb blew it).
usually about 4 - 5 seconds once you throw it, depending on the type.
Thanks, that the amount of time needed to get it OUT once anybody landed in this situation.
Not that it will ever happen in thousand years ...
