What is it about third-worlders getting incinerated while scooping up gasoline from spilled tankers?

Are they really that ignorant? I mean nobody in civilized, developed countries would see an overturned tanker truck leaking gasoline, and run over to it with a bucket.

This seems to happen a lot, especially in Africa.

Fuel tanker explosion kills dozens of people in Nigeria​

"A tanker has exploded after crashing in Nigeria, killing 77 people who had rushed to collect fuel from the scene, authorities say.
The tanker overturned and spilled its contents in the Suleja area of North Central Niger state on Saturday.
It exploded moments after people began scooping up fuel, killing dozens and leaving 25 others injured, including rescuers, officials said.

Fuel tanker explosions and accidents are common in the country - often caused by the poor state of roads and badly maintained vehicles.

Those injured in Saturday's explosion are being treated in nearby hospitals, the emergency management agency said.
Nigeria has seen a number of similar incidents in recent months.
Two weeks ago, a fuel tanker involved in a crash exploded in the oil-rich Delta state, killing at least five people, and at least 153 people died in an explosion while trying to collect leaking petrol in October."

When a people are culturally impressed with stealing as a livelihood they won't stop because it's dangerous.
