Tanker explodes after people tried to steal fuel
On Sunday, several people were injured when a crashed fuel tanker turned an Egyptian street into a sea of flames.
The fire started when a tanker flipped over on its side for an unknown reason, and it started leaking gasoline from its roof.
Like a Lagos street sharp boy, people were seen bringing out buckets and containers to cash in on the accident, only for the tanker to explode few seconds after.

The fuel and fumes ignite, with both the gasoline thieves and onlookers engulfed in flames.
The explosion causes a mass panic as the fire spreads frantically.
Within seconds, the entire street is on fire, with flames and thick dark smoke rising high into the sky as the leaked gasoline burns.
It is unclear how many people were injured in the incident.
The videos were reportedly filmed at an unknown location near Alexandria, Egypt, and posted online on Sunday.
