This is odd... they could round up 1 for the injured but not for the dead..

I trust NOTHING in the news now. Nothing is as it appears on the surface. ALL the news enemedia are playing their angles for effect. False flags abound.

Reminiscent of the Mexico train crash that leaked gasoline everywhere and folks were rushing to get theirs in open plastic buckets.

What could go wrong? Hey, do you have a light?

It’s hard to see from here how poor we would have to be to risk our lives for a few liters of fuel.

Throughout Africa, the natives, (snicker) react in this manner to fuel leaks from tanker trucks and pipelines.

Often the leaks are not accidental.

It is interesting how racist fuel trucks and pipelines are found only in Africa.

OAN is a lousy newser too.

“Victims included people who had flocked to collect fuel leaking from the ruptured vehicle, Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr, mayor of the port city, said initially in a post on Facebook that was later edited to remove the reference.”

Reference to victims, fuel spill, fuel collection, ruptured vehicle, the mayor, Facebook?

From the article:They've got it right. Cross before crescent.

Kind of interesting seeing as how 77% of the population is muslim.

I agree, there is a lack of detail about the censorship, but there is the report of the censorship.

Reminds me of the scene in Tale of two Cities where everyone is soaking up the wine leaking out of a ruptured huge cask.
The best and worst of times.
