The explosion in Bogoso still lingers in our minds and I feel bad for the victims but looking at the video right before the sad incident, I noticed something unusual. People were approaching the vehicle when they knew they couldn’t save a person in it at that moment. The driver had fled and was asking them to leave the scene because the car was carrying explosives, according to reports but these people never listened.
I never knew how ignorant people are regarding the aftermath of getting closer to explosive trucks especially when it is in flames. Trying to link the dots together gets you wondering what was really wrong with them because the driver had fled the scene.
driver had fled the scene, why would you pedestrians get closer to the vehicle? What at all did they want to see. I am not victim-blaming but let us call a spade a spade. They could have done better by fleeing from the scene and raising the alarm to the people in the town so they could flee the scene.
These guys were just approaching a potential blasting zone and were smiling with their phones in hand while taking videos. A woman was even spotted approaching the scene with her little baby.
We all should learn not to be eager to go and observe in such circumstances. Stay as far away as possible during accidents because you never know what will happen next. I do hope that public education goes out to the people so they will know what to do in such instances. See what some netizens decided to say about the incident
