Well I had a weird afternoon. I got home from school, filled up the lawnmower with a full tank of gas planning to mow the lawn. We just got this lawnmower like 4 months ago and have only used it 3 times since then as the grass is just starting to need to be cut (so its still like brand spankin new). So I hopped on and started mowing. As I got doing the grass around the fence, I noticed where the blades are started smoking, than within like 10 sec. the lawnmower just was engulfed in flames, scared the hell out of me!! Anyways the thing just blew up (5 gallons of gallons of gas contained makes a big boom)
Then to make it worse, we havent had rain around here in a while so all the brush around it and the fence just went up in smoke too!! It was pretty crazy, neighbors called 911 and the firefighters were on there way.
Needless to say the first thing I thought of was grab the camera LOL
This is what the lawnmower looked like originally:

And what a charred lawnmower looks like:
I will post the video footage I took of it, as soon as it uploads
