*28 dead
Deathtoll is now 34
The cat woman though lol

Making revenue through adverts from an accident where families were killed? Scum
Third worlders need to start understanding math and proportion this is getting out of hand.
Jesus they have so many crazy explosions in that part of the world
even the crazy cat lady's crazy cats were scared
I saw a video of people walking away without skin and still smoking
the death toll has risen to 18 🙁
Who are the victims?
Only monkeys no worry
Oh my so sorry prayers to all
I saw the whole video on Kaotic Chanel it was really bad. there were people near the tanker when the second explosion went off and it was really big. all of them had third degree burns and some were missing their arms and legs, some were lying still I think they were dead. RIP to the ones who lost their life..😢and I wish god strength to the ones who survived.
187 happy new year
I'm so so sorry for your loss and everybody that got injured.May God help each of you.Im in tears
The news censored most of the footage there's vid circulating of bodies everywhere nd torn limbs the survivors have 3rd degree burns
Yoh that is serious I can imagine the heat just from that view
Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. 🌞
“I thought a house was on fire!!!” 😳😰
Nah, just a gas tanker. You’re good.
Kinda like what the Democratic/Marxist Party is doing to America.
Oooops
That's really hot. Tbh probably wouldn't need to shave if I was that close.
My thoughts go out to everyone. This is a horrific tragedy. I just have to say the cat lady gave me a little chuckle.
I thought it was a vessel. So it was a truck !

This is no longer a Merry Christmas for everyone
It was a Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion (BLEVE) based on looking at the video. It must have been a propane tanker truck that caught on fire by the size of the destruction. The propane tanker truck’s safety relief valve couldn’t handle the amount of pressure and the propane tanker metal body failed releasing the propane vapor cloud that ignited.
I saw the aftermath of what happened to people on Reddit and it was scarring.
Bbq on x'mas day
😢🙏🏿😢🙏🏿😢🙏🏿😢
Pretty decent bleve
I pray they were all WHITE people
What this guy driving? A Tonka truck
Wow
It looked like an escape scene from one of Michael Bay's movies

The thing goes SKRAAAAAAAAAAAAA, BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM
