    I saw a blip on fox this morning, about a truck wreck in Tazmania or somewhere.
    I guess everybody gathered around it trying to siphon fuel out when it blew up.
    They were claiming 62 dead and 71 injured.
    Terrible death toll for a truck wreck.

    Tanzania, in Africa - third world country. They do that all the time there, even tap into pipe lines.
    Tazmania, a state Island south of Australia, first world country.

    The wreck did not cause the people to die, it was a tanker truck and the 62 people were trying to siphon fuel from the tanker, it blew up somehow and that caused the deaths.

    Meh, this has been around a while. What do you expect, siphoning fuel from a burning tanker, not too smart to begin with.

    It goes to show how much better off we are in this country, than what a lot of the world lives with everyday.

    Happens frequently over there. It doesn't help when they're carrying fuel in open containers; usually pails of some kind.
