“He said they should bring cold water o, to put inside a hot engine”: The Moment A Man’s Car Dangerously Overheats on the Streets of Lagos

This video that surfaced online shows the moment a Nigerian man struggled to control his excessively overheating vehicle on the side of the road.

The man is seen shouting, “Bring cold water” as the flames of the overheating continue to increase. Eventually, he pours the cold water on top of the vehicle to cool it down. But what happens next is even more surprising. The overheating of the vehicle increased, even more the moment the water touched it.

The young man immediately ran for his dear life to avoid the vapour from the vehicle injuring him. 

According to the comments on the post, the vehicle’s gasket was broken, which was why the overheating became uncontrollable.

The video has since drawn several reactions. Here are some of the things people have to say about it:
