Wouldn't it be an undocumented pipeline tap? Gotta be politically correct. Anyhow 14,894 pipeline taps in 2018 alone!
Pipelines don’t work!
Doesn’t gasoline cost like a quarter a gallon there?....................
The Village Idiots Pelosi refuses to have work on her Vineyard but demands live in our neighborhood.
Makes you wonder about the few pipeline “fractures” which have happened in the USA in the last 10 years.
The video was pretty horrific.
wow
Does gathering gasoline from an illegal pipeline tap happen often in Mexico? If so, another reason to build the border fence.
The inccident was in fact well documented. There is a fairly long video showing the gasoline being streamed into the air and the tbieves with various vessels collecting it.
Then there is a massive fire and people are clearly seen fleeing, many are literally onfire
The video of this is enough to give you nightmares
WHEN YOU CAN FIND IT.
According to the source:
almost 15,000 illegal taps into gasoline pipelines in 2018 alone in Mexico
ave 41 per day
Yes it was, but the freeloaders had to know the risks.
If your gonna do a Hot Tap on a live gas pipeline, it would be be prudent not to smoke.
I’m guessing a mere spark of static electricity is what ignited the gasoline or gasoline vapor.
It sounds like a tactic from Nigeria. Were the tappers toasted golden or burnt?
Maybe filling trucks with gasoline and joining caravans for the border.
It is and the comments were not very sympathetic either.
Generally that it was a pretty stupid thing to be doing.
These things happen in shithole countries.
Stealing is bad, mmkay?
There are no good ways to go, but burn victim may be the worst.
A friend and his brother go to open up the fishing cottage, the older brother goes in and flips a light switch, propane leak, massive burns.
From the hospital bed, he begs the younger brother to go home, use a hacksaw cut off the barrel and stock of a shotgun.
Bring it and a cartridge.
He has to kill himself to escape the pain.
He survived after years or repair work.
