Today, around 12:30 PM, a car caught fire while parked in the Salvation Army lot at 6300 Sepulveda Blvd. in Van Nuys. I was driving past it on my way to Costco. I stopped, parked and recorded these photos and video of the event which was quickly extinguished by the LAFD.

Oblivious to the Fire.
In shooting the fire yesterday, I have to admit that 9/11 was not far from my mind. I thought of the contrast of normality v. disaster as in this image.

A cataclysmic scene of disaster in which nobody was killed or injured. Just like on TV.
