@Richrd Thanks for opening the thread. Both fuel truck drivers made it out of their vehicles, tried to warn ppl. This from cnn. a couple hours ago. Sierra Leone fuel tanker explosion: At least 98 killed - CNN

"Footage and eyewitnesses intimated that while the collision took place, both drivers came out of their vehicles and warned community residents to stay off the scene while trying to address a leakage emanating from the collision," the statement said. It added that while that was happening, "some community members rushed to the scene and took advantage of the leakage to scoop fuel and store it in nearby makeshift structures."

So many deaths & injuries. Sad, sad, sad.

Such senseless and preventable deaths. This has happened before in Africa.
