At least seven people burned to death and 46 were injured after the contents from an overturned tanker exploded in a fireball today in northern Colombia.

Dozens of people had gathered around the tanker after it overturned and were trying to siphon off fuel when it ignited, causing an inferno, police said.

"We believe there are at least seven people burned to death in this tragic accident," said Fabian Ospino, mayor of the town of Pueblo Viejo, where the accident happened, in a video posted on social media.

The accident happened on the road between the cities of Barranquilla and Santa Marta on Colombia's Caribbean coast, police said.

Local police subsequently confirmed the explosion had killed seven people and left a further 46 people with burn injuries.

Hospital services in the city of Barranquilla, around 45 kilometers (28 miles) from the accident, are reported to be close to saturation due to the coronavirus outbreak in one of Colombia's worst-hit region.

Very sad, but...


Thieving cunts.

This must be what Hell is.

Huh, I guess this a more common occurrence than I thought. If you're dumb enough to stand in and get soaked in a major fuel spill just to steal a few gallons- you deserve the obvious outcome.

Black names can't edit, or play drums poorly, but I'll bet Kellyhound'll fix it.

But also, I've added the two videos rotated, and joined into one 1 minute video. Plus a longer version of the other video that shows the fire starting.

Idiots got burned alive moving on. How much was your life worth? $15 worth of gas?

It is Hades on Earth wherever the Meztilo* (part Indian, part buffalo) live. They are incompetent, dishonest and they vote. Coming to your neighborhood in the USA.

The bus driving thru a pool of burning fuel was interesting. What could go wrong? Going in reverse to get away from the fires might have been a better idea, maybe he was blocked by traffic behind him or had a schedule to keep.

At 29 seconds, there are people on fire running across the highway, then another big fire erupts across the highway. Maybe a running guy was still carrying his splashing fuel pail, or knocked over a pail.

* Did you know that Latinos are living proof that the Indians fucked the buffalo?
