Why does a car driving into the engine compartment cause a fire. Seems
like a design fault. Cars drive into each other all the time and don't
catch fire and they have fuel that is far more combustable than a bus.

That doesn't have to have anything to do with the bus. It might very
well have been the car catching fire, and then the fire spreading to the
bus. A very likely thing to happen actually.
