Despite frantic calls to the fire department, police and emergency services, it took officials over an hour to arrive on the scene of the deadly Boksburg tanker explosion. We ask: what went wrong? That's this Sunday at 7pm on M-Net channel 101.

death toll rises to 26😢

And the classic clusterphuck handling of the incident/crime scene by our goons from the police & the emergency response teams has now seen the driver being let off the hook till further notice. Sigh 😔 twitter.com/safmnews/status/16

This was horrific. One feels for the families caught up in it. Do authorities know why the tanker exploded?

this is the tanker that got jammed and caught fire under the bridge.
Pic3 shows how close people were watching.
Pic4 arial shows how blast was channeled by the tunnel towards locations where bystanders gathered.
Terrible tragedy.

Condolences to the families of the victims from the Truth is that a proper and functioning railway system would significantly reduce this persisting risk in our roads
