Why do parents not explain to their kids, it's not a good idea to play around a construction site? Especially on top of a petroleum tank.

C'mon, were you not a little stupid at 14 or 15? I know I was. And how often is a parent in the situation of saying, "Now, son, if you come across a petroleum tank today, don't stand on it"?

I think it's very sad and I pray for their families. The article says the kids were camping with their grandfather, so possibly they are all cousins from the same family.

Now it's universally know that all teenagers know everything, just ask one. =)

But at 14 or 15 I knew well enough what explosive gases were and not to bring any type of flame close to them.

I feel terrible for the families, this is a horrible this to read. But I'm guess it was something one of them did to cause the explosion.

Are you serious????

I was a "little" stupid at 15 when my friends and I got busted for toilet papering someones house.

These kids were NOT a little stupid they were VERY STUPID.

End of story.

My prayers go to the families for loss of these young STUPID kids.

Some of my best memories as a kid are from exploring places I was'nt supposed to be.

That's what sad --- most kids --- or at least those who have any fun at all do something stupid at least once or twice.
