In the middle of the urban zone, bad combination. Usually, governments allow it.

It reminded me of San Juanico disaster (Mexico, 1984). The explosions destroyed the facility and devastated the town of San Juan Ixhuatepec, part of Greater Mexico City, with 500–600 victims killed, and 5000–7000 suffering severe burns.[2] The disaster was one of the deadliest industrial disasters in world history.[3]

Hope this time there are not so many victims.

Although, it can be many causes; nowadays, any person whom got the jab and boosters driving whatever vehícle can suddenly fell sick or drop uncouncious.

Nigeria Oil Pipeline Explosion Leaves 12 Dead in Nigeria

Vehicles and tricycles, which were to be used by local people to siphon fuel from the pipeline, were burned to ashes at the explosion site.

On early Friday, at least 12 people were killed following an explosion from an oil pipeline in Nigeria's southern state of Rivers

The explosion in the Rumuekpe community in the Emuoha government area of Rivers occurred as local residents were scooping oil from an oil pipeline passing the community, said Grace Iringe-Koko, the spokesperson for the Rivers police.

Oil pipeline vandalism and oil theft are frequently reported in Nigeria. Illegal oil refineries operate by tapping crude oil from pipelines and distilling it into products in improvised tanks.

“All those who were at the exact tapping point in the ‘pit’ got killed while some of those who had loaded the crude and waiting to load including women have been killed by the explosion,” said the Youths and Environmental AdvocCentre (YEAC), a non-governmental organization, as reported by Al Arabiya.
