[quote:Treyfish:MV8xOTkzMjI0XzMzNDgwOTg0XzE4ODFDRkZG] The company said Tuesday that Pemex employees staff the center, but said it was not immediately clear whether those killed were Pemex employees. Nor did the company immediately offer the possible cause of the fire. Pipelines carrying gasoline and diesel in Mexico are frequently tapped by thieves looking to steal oil products. Several oil spills and explosions have been blamed on illegal taps. But thieves seldom target gas pipelines. http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/the_americas/mexico-reports-fire-at-gas-pipeline-near-us-border/2012/09/18/bb297b7e-01be-11e2-bbf0-e33b4ee2f0e8_story.html?
