I am certified in firefighting and Hazardous Materials Operation, I never got the job. Most firefighters never did firefighting and Hazmat, I know that for a fact. Number one rule in firefighting is to protect lives and then property. The first thing they should have done is berricate the area and keep a safe distance themselves. There is a step by step procedure to identifying contents of a tanker, and how to approach such a scene.
I'm also unhappy with how the first responders handled the scene. They should have identified what they are dealing with first and evacuated the place around the truck. Barricades should have been atleast 100m from the incident. I'm sorry for the loss and hurt. 😟
Deepest condolences to the people who lost loved ones. Prayers for recovery to the injured people. 💔 Thank you Linda Mnisi for your respectful reporting on this matter.
The police station was a mere 600m away but they only arrived half an hour after the large explosion, the accident happened an hour before the explosion... pathetic
"They were talking video's". This is were the problem started, taking video's for social media and die. Sometimes it helps to mind your business. RIP to them
So sad the the people did not listen to the gentleman asking them to turn around because it is dangerous - heartbreaking , prayers and thoughts with all affected.
My deepest condolences to those that have lost their loved ones in this utterly tragic accident. My heart and prayers go out to you all. RIP souls of our brothers and sisters.
My thoughts and prayers are with the families who have lost loved ones in this tragic incident. May their loved ones rest in heavenly peace. Much love and blessings ❤
All because the driver couldn't follow instructions. He was told to avoid low bridges but decided to ignore this and drove straight into a low bridge which compressed the gas tank and caused the explosion. Now the company needs to pay out for the drivers' negligence. And this idiot actually survived. He should without doubt be charged with murder. There must be justice. This appears to be a regular occurrence of late, workers and drivers have a total don't care attitude.
8:15 the negligence is with the municipality! The videos of the truck burning and stuck at the scene clear show that there is NO signage for height restriction - which is also why witnesses said "the driver drove straight into the tunnel" because there are no SIGNS!!!
This is very disheartening and a real tragedy 😢 SAPS is dysfunctional and the police minister should have been fired a long time ago. Prayers go out to the injured and the families that loss love ones...
Firefighters fight fires. Police fight crime. Police had no purpose there until the paw paw hit the fan. That's when the police come. What must the police go do there? Arrest the fire?
I am cancelling the cops, the metro cops, the RTMC, all SA Licensing Departments, all Emergency Services but especially the Fire and Ambulance services, the trucking company that employed a homicidal nincompoop as a gas tanker driver, said gas driver ( who survived and fled the scene apparently), the phone video-taking fools who, lacking basic common sense, ignored one guy's urgent warnings to MOVE AWAY FROM THE LEAKING GAS. I am angry and sad and cynical and the shocking journalism is really just the vrot cherry on top of this tragic steaming mess. God help us, South Africa
I am shocked at how incompetent the fire personal were. they is supposed to be hazmat trained. People should have been removed from the crash site immediately for at least 500meter radius. The firemen also should have stayed clear. the fire brigade is also to blame for the deaths and injuries.
The truck caught on fire & motorists were trying to douse the fire by using water that happened before the fire fighters even arrived. You are correct you cannot just use water on any gas fire but these motorist did not know this.
What a horrendous explosion at the heart of Boksburg, the 10 people who died trying to salvage the truck driver, ended up dead, with hundreds injured 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 prayers and thoughts are with the affected family members left behind, what a bleek Christmas for the affected people and family members left behind 💔💔💔💔💔
That is false. The truck driver got out as soon as the truck got stuck and called police/his supervisors and reported it. He also tried to close off the scene when someone in a car refuse and drove into the tunnel. Their car switched off( from the high oxygen levels) and the driver and another person tried to help this driver move his car out of the tunnel when the first explosion happened. They took him and the other two to hospital and then by then people started coming to see what exploded and burnig then the second explosion...
This explosion was fire and rescue fault they did not follow guidelines. Let's not forget that they sent one truck and did not make a safty zone for the public. Fire fighters should do the following: Fight fire from the maximum distance possible, or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Cool containers by flooding them with large quantities of water until well after fire is out. Do not direct water at the source of leak or at safety devices; icing may occur. Leave the area immediately if you hear a rising sound from venting safety devices or see discoloration of the tank. For massive fires, use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible, leave the area and let the fire burn. Be aware that when a BLEVE occurs, sections of the tank can fly in any direction. Just avoiding the ends of the tank should not be considered a safe operating procedure. Fire departments should do the following: Follow the OSHA regulations [29 CFR*1910.120 (q)]Emergency response to hazardous substance releases]. These regulations should be incorporated into fire department standard operating procedures (SOPs), which should be strictly enforced. Train first responders to be aware of the hazards associated with propane tank fires, including BLEVE.*CFR = Code of Federal Regulations Ensure that fire department code enforcement personnel adhere to the guidelines specified by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and NAERG96 for the evaluation and certification of propane tanks. For more information about safe fire fighting procedures for propane tank fires, see NAERG96 or contact the NFPA, the National Propane Gas Association (NPGA), or the International Fire Service Training Association (IFSTA).
Tragedy beyond belief ... barricading should have been the ONLY thing that was being done by firemen The police were obviously not interested to come to the scene a mere 2 blocks away.
Again, Clearly stated by this lady this other lady was taking videos even posted it on her status!!! Why? Why? Why? Never ever go try film/ Watch a accident look now!!! More important than your own life is watching and filming.
The police on duty for this day at this station should be fired. This is unacceptable, one can never replace these lost lives...its a shame POLICE FORCE.
Those police could have died on the scene try to chase away onlookers who were refusing to leave the scene.A certain white gentle said he tried unsuccessfully to evacuate the people taking videos.
🤔 police wouldn't stop the truck from explotion even if they arrived on time, it's just people who failed to think for them selves. Or maybe you know what where you going to do why didn't you arrive on time so that you could safe the people?
But why did the police take up to half an hour to get to the scene whilst the nearest police station is apparently only 600m away from the scene of the explosion? Should have been there promptly to take control of the situation and get people away from the scene. In fact, they probably heard the explosion in the police station but continued with the nothingness they were doing at the time (probably sleeping).
The fact that the gentleman was thrown back from the distant that he was at is an indication that he too should have listened to his own advice to others and moved further away. Someone flying over his car and his son also being knocked further back into the car means neither were they safe - they escaped by a thread of luck too.
The reporter seams to have no sense of direction. We all have a fascination with death and injury. I suppose it is because it could have been us. A major lesson from this tragedy is: if are not helping, leave the seen immediately. You may be getting in the way of those who can help, but you may be putting yourself at serious risk.
My deepest condolences to this family...may God give them strength, peace and comfort during this difficult time. Why aren't the police assist them on giving them closure 🙏🏼
It's not every day that SAPS has a situation like.this...so.its better to fence on the safer side of protocol and also remember its a traumatic site with bodies and body parts all over this site...more emotional trauma for families neighbours and on lookers to be seeing all of this ...also how.many bodies are u gonna view only to find out your family member isnt there...pyscologically these people are never gonna be the same...its better to identify the body at the state mortuary in a controlled environment irrespective of body condition...not judging just encouraging 👐👐👐
People may hate Mr Julius Malema,but that man tells the truth,He once said "They've collapsed Transnet and now more trucks are on the road" and look what just happened,how many innocent people have lost their lives because of trucks, those who passed away may their soul rest in peace and those who are injured must recover in the name of Jesus Christ...🙏
I cannot believe that this route was approved for such a dangerous product. They should put the ceo in jail for this situation and allegations must independently be investigated. The site is still active!
This poor lady relating this sad story is but one of so many tragic souls. Such a tragedy. We are so sad for you. Condolences to all the affected families. 💔😰
Community support is right and good in the face of such a terrible event. Yet I wonder why the tanker company has not yet made a statement and why they are not supporting the victims. 🤔 And then I wonder why the media is not naming them. Accidents happen. Even horrible ones. But not reacting is just unacceptable.
Police and traffic officials why didn't they close off the area??? Get people to move away from the danger😔😔😔 R. I. P to those who lost their life's and God please be with the families
The three departments all work in unison at scenes. Police: Civil order, protection and to document/investigate and open a case Fire: Protect property and people from further damage and mitigate the cost of damage Abulance: Deal with the injured, working from most serious on arrival to least serious. It is therefore up to the police to SECURE the scene at the instruction of the fire captain on scene. The fire captain should have said to the scene manager, extend perimeter and clear out the area - this is what they failed to do. Very sad.
MANY BELIEVE SOMETHING IS VERY OFF HERE.... UNNAMED EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE GAS IN A GAS TANKER ON A ROUTE NOT SPECIFIED, LOWEST BRIDGE, DRIVING THROUGH A BUSY RESIDENTIAL SUBURB..DAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS,....IN A DA LED TOWN...THERE NEEDS TO BE A DEEP INVESTIGATION HERE
My understanding is that they didn't notice that it was a gas tanker, they thought it contained petrol. Which I presume is still not a good idea to rush to especially if it's on fire.
Firefighters fight fires and it is their responsibility to cordon off and stop people from getting closer. The police would have a duty to perform there once the Firefighters have doused the fire or things grt significantly worse. Like it Did. That's when the police step in.
Signage clearly indicating the MAXIMUM clearance for vehicles intending to drive under that bridge. Warning signage, a flashing orange warning light. Close the road altogether. Train tanker drivers to international safety standards. Improve emergency services response times. Transport LPG by rail only. Ban trucks over a certain weight from using secondary roads. But all of this legislation does exist. This reckless, homicidal driver was breaking law the moment he got into the cab this morning.
☹️ I think it begins with me, you and anybody else to think wisely before acting. This is really sad, that is a bridge and if maybe the driver was wise enough, he wouldn't go through there without confirming or double checking if he will make it.😥 This is really sad. God please forgive our world 🙏 forgive us🤦
Vehicles transporting hazardous material must make use of peripheral roads, away from major highways and residential areas. Or just fix the rail system
Firefighters and police should have cordoned off a huge perimeter after learning it was a gas leak!!! I don't know, was there not enough time?? A learning lesson for us all 😭. Don't go near accidents for videos! Helping would be a different story... Condolences to the families. Hoping those injured heal well.
So tragic. Condolences to the families that have lost loved ones. To the victims that have recoveries ahead of them. 😪 Shocking that it took police an hour to get to the scene. I feel faster action would have prevented at least some deaths.
There has been one witness that has said that trucks have regularly approached the bridge but have stopped and reversed back to go a different route , that is a regular SAT NAV occurance , sat nav does not even register a low bridge , sat nav , world wide are so short of safety peramiters , that is what caused this tragedy , trucks coliding with low bridges are , internationally quite a big occurance , with drivers and companies all using SAT NAV , world wide , all navigation systems need to be upgraded . This goes for hand held nav enabled devices too .
Condolences to the family's. God please be with them. Looking at these fotos , that DRIVER new he was not going to fit nor go through there. DRIVER... DRIVER....Driver !!! Judging from a Truck Driver's pont of view, I am one my self. DRIVER......... Where was your F..............n mind ??
If there was no spectator value. All would be alive except maybe first responders. Blaming the driver for this tragic deaths also not totally fair towards the driver.

They can't even stop taxis from jumping red robots how they going to stop trucks from doing as they please lol useless!
Firefighters and police should have cordoned off a huge perimeter after learning it was a gas leak!!! I don't know, was there not enough time?? A learning lesson for us all 😭. Don't go near accidents for videos! Helping would be a different story... Condolences to the families. Hoping those injured heal well.
U know our people go make videos in life threatening situation. It's sad what has happened but it could have been prevented.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph be with these people. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
You left out God !!!😉😉😉
Really
@@truth-Hurts375 he mentioned GOD but unfortunately he added 2 humans along in his blessing.
What was graphic on this??
After this info, I feel like these people are narrating a scary movie. Yoh
Please Forgive Us For Our Sins Father
The SAP are fucking USLESS sorry to hear that bless the families that have lost their loved one GOD bless you
Where is the video
So tragic. Condolences to the families that have lost loved ones. To the victims that have recoveries ahead of them. 😪
Shocking that it took police an hour to get to the scene. I feel faster action would have prevented at least some deaths.
There has been one witness that has said that trucks have regularly approached the bridge but have stopped and reversed back to go a different route , that is a regular SAT NAV occurance , sat nav does not even register a low bridge , sat nav , world wide are so short of safety peramiters , that is what caused this tragedy , trucks coliding with low bridges are , internationally quite a big occurance , with drivers and companies all using SAT NAV , world wide , all navigation systems need to be upgraded . This goes for hand held nav enabled devices too .
The Height of the bridge isn't writting n this bridge is too small for the truck
Arrest Fikile Mbalula
Arrest him for what in this context?
For What Jeses
Wa gafa
It's a after shock
Hazardous substances should be transported by trains as before
Would if could but alas rail system has bn destroyed...
taking a video, why?
Oh, there was negligence alright. Unfortunately for the city of Boksburg, it came from just about every involved party EXCEPT the driver.
I have the video of the real footage,cant post it on youtube.
@@europarise2316 videos like those cost money
@@jpstander8087 lol sorry im dirt poor
This is hartbreaking may Jesus comfort your harts we can only pray for all the hart breaking situasion may God be with all
Condolences to the family's. God please be with them.
Looking at these fotos , that DRIVER new he was not going to fit nor go through there. DRIVER... DRIVER....Driver !!!
Judging from a Truck Driver's pont of view, I am one my self.
DRIVER......... Where was your F..............n mind ??
If there was no spectator value. All would be alive except maybe first responders. Blaming the driver for this tragic deaths also not totally fair towards the driver.
Ummmm well if he was not the driver then this would not have happened...
Ya so people always want to act clever and stand and watch so it's their own fault if u wana stand next to the flame u gona get burnt
We cant help u if u dnt have a heart...or compassion....
@@fin-rb3yz its has nothing to do with a heart it has everything to do with stupidity, south africans loot cash trucks that were exploded, they loot accident goods trucks on highways, they were probably waiting to loot this truck too. How can any fool with a brain not think its a gas tanker its on fire let's get away. So sorry for your heart issue this is what u cal uneducated failure to use logical sense
@@fin-rb3yz I'm sure Rasta has,,however if a tanker is ablaze one should know that an explosion is possible, most people do not think .
Here Jesus Christus,,,,ek dra elke persoon wat geraak is deur hierdie vreeslike ramp. Here mag hulle ontmoet het. Here Jesus verlig die wat in die hospitaal is se pyn. Dra hulle deur en mag hulle U ontmoet. En Here dit is niemand se skuld nie. Bewaar hulle. My hart pyn vir hulle maar ek weet U is altyd daar in Jesus se naam Amen
...Koeberg Powerstation is next...the writing is on the Wall...
What writing
You might be right
@@thegreatlordcthulhu9852 Boer prophet Siener van Rensburg, Inspired by Elohim and others to, have received the revelation that koeberg Powerstation will explode, most probably before meteor hits in March'23...
South African style Chernobyl... That sounds like the stuff of nightmare's
My husband has been saying this and it makes me so nervous
People can't think curiosity and just to take a video is it worth it noooo see how many people died because of videos 🛑 doing that people get out don't think of sensation
Change the name of the hospital you cant name hospitals and airports after a terrorist that signed off the Church str bombing that killed 17 and injured 217 its just bad karma
You're being silly this was a tanker explosion caused by negligence on the part of the driver.
@@Cookiestomybutt Seems like no one is to blame after all these in depth investigations and audits .....lets go back to the karma theory ....must have been that B8tCH
I've been told they found a body in a tree. On inspection he ws just sleeping.
What’s wrong with his face 😂
Yoh.
Jesus,split in half
Imagine
Subway🤔
Good to see diversity in SA media.😂
Lol that’s the road from the zombie burned people
Ok
Fucuou
Here we go...now every Tom Dick and his Canary know how to handle situations like this !!!
Yep 🤦🏻♀️
If refer to Marcella.....
He is correct, my Dad was a Trained Trucker not just on paper..
Logics.... low bridge cargo gas any one with experience would never have attempted that...
Even to the untrained eye...
It's not about all knowing how to handle situations like this It's but preventing situations like this...
Train staff accordingly, especially when carrying such volatile substance .
Pure logic.
I wonder if the driver would have stopped even if there was a sign indicating the height...🧮📝📚
Probably not. Decided to "wurm" in there no matter what.
