Something tells me the Google Street View team should be equipped with emergency response gear and training. What tells me this? This van that's totally on fire, for one thing. UPDATED


Yesterday, the Toronto Star saw the same Google SV item we did, and investigated. According to the workman who owns the truck that isn't on fire, he was able to move his truck out of the way before the van "blew up." It was apparently a relatively safe explosion—nobody was hurt and nothing else burned down—but an explosion nonetheless. Damn. [Google via Will Smith on Twitter; Toronto Star - Thanks Daniel!]
