why stealing gas from a pipe line is a BAD IDEA

May (IRIN) - More than 150 people were killed while scavenging fuel when a ruptured fuel pipeline exploded and caught fire near Nigeria's biggest city of Lagos, police and health officials said.

The pipeline, which transports fuel from a depot at the Lagos port for domestic use inland, was breached at several points at a beach on the Lagos Lagoon where fuel thieves siphoned the volatile liquid into plastic jerry cans. Inhabitants of poor fishing villages said they were awakened by a huge bang as the pipeline caught fire, scorching the crowds of scavengers.

I know it right, it's soo over rated.

It's sad that the people are so dirt poor they have to steal fuel for cooking/heating.

When the oil companies went in there, they agreed to give a certain % of the profits to the government in return for the rights to the oil. That money was intended to help the people. In practice, the higher ups made themselves rich.

a friend from school is a prince of lagos (well, one of over 100), ill have to tell him the sad news.

but that's pretty messed up, wonder what exactly started it.

I'm going to have to sell my truck if this bullshit of gas keeps up
