This is a tragic incident and my thoughts go out to the victims and their families. It is extremely disheartening to hear about such accidents, especially when they result in loss of life. It is crucial that authorities take appropriate measures to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future and ensure the safety of citizens on the roads.

You saw death, You put head. My condolences to the families of the deceased and the children who didn't know the implications of what they were doing. For those who got themselves killed, I hope your families move on quick enough. 13 Likes |

When a tanker falls close to you, it's the apt time to leave that area to a distant place not to go scoop it.
