  1. Crispy critters. Howd this happen?

  2. This explosion was terrifying but seeing the raw power of a gas like that was impressive to see but sad knowing that so many lost their lives due it the shear raw power of this explosion

  3. whats to stop a crazy from abducting one of these trucks and weaponizing it, these are the things that keep me up at night

  4. Making excuses to invade Africa.

  5. For people living in the US, this is not a Gas Tanker, it's a Propane Tanker.

  6. The cat woman though lol

  7. Making revenue through adverts from an accident where families were killed? Scum

  8. Third worlders need to start understanding math and proportion this is getting out of hand.

  9. Jesus they have so many crazy explosions in that part of the world

  11. the death toll has risen to 18 🙁

  12. Oh my so sorry prayers to all

  13. 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.

  14. I'm so so sorry for your loss and everybody that got injured.May God help each of you.Im in tears

  15. The news censored most of the footage there's vid circulating of bodies everywhere nd torn limbs the survivors have 3rd degree burns

  17. Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. 🌞

  18. “I thought a house was on fire!!!” 😳😰
    Nah, just a gas tanker. You’re good.

  19. Kinda like what the Democratic/Marxist Party is doing to America.

  20. That's really hot. Tbh probably wouldn't need to shave if I was that close.

  21. My thoughts go out to everyone. This is a horrific tragedy. I just have to say the cat lady gave me a little chuckle.

  22. I thought it was a vessel. So it was a truck !
