    Lets speak the truth.Am sure many people have come across dogs on the way and all exploded?Air condition exploded means air condition was on for long time and was very hot?When one runs car for long time and aircondition was running all the time certainly gets heated ,and Car hits with high speed to Electric Pole was then not exploded.Thank God no persons were injured.Can buy another car but a person.
