The following is nonsense and should be fixed by someone who can be bothered:
"whilst others were simply vapourised in the initial explosion".
- It doesn't seem like nonsense to me. This is the same thing as what happened in the recent train derailment in Canada. 184.97.207.59 (talk) 00:29, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
- Someone does not just "vapourise". Its physicall nonsense and impossible considering the maximum possible energy density of such a fire compared to the required energy just to boil the water and also the very limited ability to conduct the heat. I will remove this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.136.206.153 (talk) 08:20, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
Page title[edit]
I've moved the page because "tanker truck" is not even remotely a recognised term in Nigeria. Example Google hits for .ng domains:
- "Tank truck" = 73
- "Tanker" (-ship) = 11,200
As can be seen, the leading returns are actual local reports of the similar Okogbe road tanker explosion incident. Nick Cooper (talk) 07:42, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
