At least 62 people were killed when a tanker exploded in Haiti. What was the cause of the accident?

It happened in Cap-Ha? tien, the second largest city in Haiti. According to Patrick, deputy mayor of Cap Haitien? Aarmo Noel said that the tanker driver lost control when trying to avoid a collision with a motorcycle taxi, which caused the tanker to capsize. Haitians have been suffering from severe fuel shortages for months. The images related to the accident show the charred car skeleton and the building surface blackened by the fire after the disaster.

After the incident, people around us brought all kinds of equipment to refuel the gasoline leaked from the tanker. The tanker driver climbed out of the overturned car. When he saw someone robbing gasoline, he stood up and dissuaded him. As a tanker driver, he received education on dangerous chemicals, and the leaked gasoline and the sultry weather around the corner of Shanghai soon disappeared. As long as there is a spark, the big bang will happen immediately. As more and more people get together, the tanker is surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside. The driver's voice has long been drowned out by the noisy curses and competition of people who are obsessed with gasoline. The only thing he can do is to stay away from the scene and pray that the big bang will not happen.

A few minutes later, a big explosion happened, and the people on fire fled instantly. Many people ran a few steps and then fell on the road, and more people cried and continued to run. Soon, they fell to the ground, struggling to roll in the fire, and gradually stopped moving. Haitians have been suffering from severe fuel shortages for months. Images related to the accident show charred car skeletons and blackened building surfaces left after the disaster.

Haitian Prime Minister Ariel? Henry declared three days of national mourning to commemorate the victims of this tragedy that made Haiti mourn all over the country. Although they requested fire support from the airport, the fire was out of control because of the distance. The fire was extinguished several hours later, and about 40 houses near the accident site caught fire due to explosion. Aarmo Noel said that it is not yet possible to give a detailed number of victims in these houses. It takes time to identify the victim. Because it is a burn, it is unrecognizable at this stage.
