- thriftwy 4y agoI'm surprised they did not stow it away for later enjoyment.
- dbrgn 4y ago"During the evacuation many people gathered by the streams of whiskey, filling any vessel at hand with the substance."
- thriftwy 4y agoApparently not all of them, as some still drank to death
- lb1lf 4y agoI witnessed a watered-down version of an incident like this a few months ago on the road between Campos dos Goytecazes and Rio de Janeiro - traffic slows down, then stops, and as we look ahead, trying to see what causes the jam, we find that several people walk along the roadside carrying beer cans and kegs, laughing and being in an excellent mood. Just our luck, driving right into some festivities, we think. Then, minutes later, we find the origin of the beer - a truck has veered onto the road shoulder and toppled over, the locals helping themselves to the free beer strewn all over. I imagine that village still being collectively tipsy...
- Cthulhu_ 4y agoThis unfortunately happens with gasoline as well (from trucks or pipelines), sometimes with fatal consequences.
- weberer 4y agoYeah, it comes up in the news more frequently than you'd expect. 1. Gas truck tips over. Usually with 0 fatalities 2. Locals go over to collect free gas 3. Truck explodes. 30+ fatalities
