I was on I 75 heading south going to my home. Well in the north bound lane we saw 3 tour buses on the side of the road, and lots of smoke behind them just a little ways. All of a sudden we cam upon a bus that I assume had caught on fire. Totallyy destroyed. I hope nobody got hurt. (more)
My family and I were about 1/2 mile behind this last weekend... saw smoke for miles, figured it was brush fire or something. If I would have jumped off an exit, could have saved us a lot of time. (we sat just a little over an hour) I'm glad that we heard nobody was hurt.

These buses are chartered buses for the return home trip from MacDill AFB, FL to Moody AFB, GA. The 74th and 75th Fighter Squadron was on the way home from a Temporary Duty there for training. The fire was caused from the rear brake seizing and brake fluid caught fire casuing the rest of the bus to become enflamed. Luckily none of our guys were hurt.
