Small explosion inside a parked car at 01 Mall in Abu Hamour
There was some panic at the 01 Mall in Abu Hamour when a small explosion occurred in a parked car, likely due to malfunction of one of its cylinders.
The blast, which was powerful enough to completely destroy a few of the parking shades, happened at around 5pm.
Police and traffic personnel immediately rushed to the spot and brought things under control. It is learnt that three young men escaped from the car with minor injuries.
Seeing a post about an explosion at 01 Mall in #Doha. Anyone know what's going on?
Does anybody know more?

What happened ? Did the clutch blow or the pistons smash through the block ?
Same incident happened with my brother's car today at Ras Laffan. Itz a Mercedes c200 2008 model. Why is this happening?
brit, I have better things to do!
What cylinder? - Shafaf or the rusty metal gas cylinder...
-_-
Stop keeping dashboard wax sprays in the car during this summer period. When you move around with the car under a very high temperature, these condensed containers are prone to explosion.
we should say that a stupidly modified and tuned car is the cause of the accident, I think the owner should be prosecuted by court.
If it happened only 50m from your house, then why didn't you rush out and take a picture to post on social media ?
It actually happened 50 m from where I live. The window glass vibrated and the sound was cool. For a moment I felt unsafe in Qatar. The first time in 20 years.
So glad all are safe .. Joys
That's a funny one and it shows that the author doesn't know what he is talking about. There are 500 explosions per minute in each cylinder of a V8 engine running at 4,000 rpm. Thanks to engineering art the cylinders can withstand that torture for years to come.
'Malfunction of one of its cylinders' ?
That's a new one on me
