Fisker Flambe At New Jersey Port Damages 16 Karmas

16 Fisker Karmas waiting at a New Jersey port caught fire, with all 16 cars burning to the ground. Photos of the aftermath were obtained by Jalopnik, which also obtained this statement from Fisker "It was reported today that several Fisker Karmas were damaged by fire at the Port of Newark after being submerged in sea water during Superstorm Sandy.  We can report that there were no injuries and none of the cars were being charged at the time. We have confidence in the Fisker Karma and safety is our primary concern.  While we intend to find the cause as quickly as possible, storm damage has restricted access to the port.  We will issue a further statement once the root cause has been determined." Anyone with a science background (or anyone that got better than a C in Chemistry…): how do the vehicles go up in flames after being submerged in sea water. Anyone?
