Darwin certainly had a good point with his theories.

BBC News said:

At least 111 people have died in Kenya after an overturned petrol tanker caught fire on a highway and exploded.

Reports say the fire broke out after hundreds of people gathered to collect spilled fuel.

About 200 people have also been injured in the blaze, in the town of Molo. Officials say the death toll may rise.

The cause of the fire is not clear. Some reports said it was caused by a lit cigarette, but others said it had been started deliberately.

Can be all too common.

Darwin had a point you know, but also bear in mind I've heard of African Witchdoctors telling people they are now invincible, in they go to a place with fire and explosives, and come out very dead....
