This is so sad,explosion took place as dozens sought shelter in gas station and nearby
shops in central Accra
to escape the torrential rains and charred bodies were left scattered through
the whole site.
The massive flooding in Ghana's capital swept stored fuel
into a nearby fire, setting off a huge explosion at a gas station that killed
73 people and set alight neighboring buildings, authorities said Thursday.
The flooding "caused the diesel and petrol to flow away from the gas
station and a fire from a nearby house led to the explosion," said Billy
Anaglate spokesman for Ghana's
national fire service.Thursday morning crews were still collecting bodies and officials at the nearby 37 Military Hospital said its morgue had reached capacity.
