The victims were gathering gasoline from an illegal pipeline tap in the central state of Hidalgo on Friday when the gas ignited, littering an alfalfa field with charred bodies.
Wouldn't it be an undocumented pipeline tap? Gotta be politically correct. Anyhow 14,894 pipeline taps in 2018 alone!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
