Mad Max - Nigeria Edition


"At least 45 people were burned to death on the outskirts of Lagos when fuel they were siphoning from a buried pipeline caught fire. Nine out of 10 people in Nigeria, Africa’s top exporter of crude oil, live on less than $2 a day, and many are prepared to take huge risks to obtain free fuel." By REUTERS Published: December 27, 2007

Is this Mad Max or what? I can just see this type of thing happening down here in South Florida where I live. This really made my morning special when I saw it on the NY Times site. I can't wait for the fuel crisis to really heat up. At least in the US we can still buy guns.
