text: Red Cross says 100 dead after roadworks trigger pipeline explosion in Nigeria
  
  May 16, 2008 
  
  The oil pipeline was fractured after a construction vehicle struck it and erupted into a fireball, with fuel running down the street. At least twelve homes caught fire, and students ran from a nearby school that was also threatened. According to witnesses, students are among the dead. 
  Firefighters have extinguished the blaze and work is now underway to try and reunite people separated during the fire and account for those present at the time. 
  Disasters such as this happen regularly in Nigeria, but they are usually attributable to organised criminals breaking into pipes for their content or terrorist attacks, whereas this event appears to have been an accident.
