Stupidity has no bounds. I believe this is not the first accident of this type, there was previously a similar accident where a tanker tipped over and a lot f people were burned to death trapped in vehicles on the road in close proximity.
Surprisingly the video before the fire shows a police car too, and even they didn't do anything to disperse people or maybe the people didn't listened due to their greed for a few liters of free fuel which was not theirs and that too in the holy month of Ramzan.
Though a very sad incident of loss of life, but I hope this becomes a lesson for the future. when a fuel tanker tips over, stay at least half a kilometer away, because if it explodes, which it will 99% of the times, its going to rain burning fuel in every direction. Most of those people were on already fuel soaked ground with their clothes also soaked in fuel. What a horrible way to die. May Allah forgive the departed and make others wiser.
