00:30The tanker drivers, there is what is called enlarged, controlised, flatbed cargo.
00:51The tanker is supposed to be enlarged.
00:56But I think I found out that the tanker carrying the fuel was not properly enlarged.
01:01So when it got to a small port, it fell off.
01:04And when it fell off, scavengers started scooping fuel.
01:08And other tanker came to see if he can transload the fuel.
01:12I think that is what led to the large casualties we are witnessing now.
