Massive gas-line explosion, Hidalgo, Mexico

We’ve seen this before; people tapping into gasoline or oil pipelines to steal same, and the resultant tragedies.
This one particularly horrific with at least 66 dead and dozens injured.

I’m not going to link to the video footage, this is strong stuff even for a jaded old cop. Dozens of people literally on fire, running from the scene, heart-rending screaming...

It’s on YouTube if you want.

Much of this activity is simply poor people trying to get fuel for their cars or trying to make a few bucks. But the news says this activity in Mexico is largely “run” by the cartels, who pay people a few bucks for the gas they steal, and then re-sell it on the black market....Undercutting legal gas prices. To the tune of billions per year.
