Mexico gasoline pipeline leak forced about 5,000 people to evacuate

A state-owned pipeline expelled  gasoline up into the sky, forcing about 5,000 residents to evacuate. Allegedly, the incident happened due to a handiwork of some thieves tapping into the fuel lines.
Volumes of gasoline leaked into areas near housing districts in Tlajomulco.

While there were no injuries reported, residents had to leave the place under threat from possible huge fire to break out.

Inhalation of toxic fumes was also feared.

The same kind of unwanted event took place in Mexico, sometime in December 2011, believed to have been caused by illegal gas line taps.
