It reminds me of this gotcha moment:

Warning: GRAPHIC
That was incredibly graphic. Wow. People on fire running. Some might find that one disturbing. How did you find that link?
It reminds me of this gotcha moment:
First thing that came to mind:
“Come on baby light my fire”
Second:
“Stop, drop and roll.”
Really hard to believe that anyone would be that dumb. Even harder to believe the hundreds of people doing it. I’m guessing some “mob mentality” going on. “It’s okay mom - it’s been leaking all day, everybody is getting free gas, it’ll be fine!” (Even harder to believe that it appears that it had been gushing like that for a long time before exploding).
There was a gasoline pipeline that leaked in Washington state around 2000. Was an actual Y2K related issue. New valves and software installed, kept giving false alarms that it was closed. They ignored an alarm, sent fuel, and it was closed! Combined with a dent and repair nearby from a construction digging accident. Sent fuel into a creek running through a park. On the downstream side of the park was a busy town with all sorts of people and ignition sources.
Sadly - a little boy had found a lighter and was goofing around in the park near the creek lighting leaves on fire. Although if not for the gas exploding in the park the death toll could have been huge. The little boy saved a lot of lives. A fisherman was overcome by the fumes and died as well.
KAY BOOM!!!!!
Sad.
