At least 220 dead in oil explosion in Congo - KansasCity.com: "A tanker truck hauling fuel on a rural eastern Congo highway overturned Saturday, gushing oil that later exploded in a fireball and killed about 220 people.
Witnesses said dozens of people had descended on the truck to siphon fuel illegally from the wreckage with jerricans and plastic buckets, apparently unaware of the danger.
U.N. peacekeepers rushed to evacuate more than 200 injured from the scene by helicopter and ambulance. Red Cross teams carried the charred bodies away in body bags and buried them in two mass graves a few miles away."
Coincidence? Hmmmm.
