Oopsie

My late grandfather was always there for me with common-sense advice. "Sean," he'd tell me, "never break into a tank car on a freight train unless you're damn sure what's inside." It's too bad that these guys apparently didn't have anyone to dispense such homespun wisdom:

At least 15 Indian train robbers looking to steal diesel from a freight carriage died Saturday after inhaling poison gas stored in another tank they accidentally broke open, police said.

A police patrol party said they found 30 other people lying unconscious on both sides of a forested train track in India's Assam state.

"We found many empty drums which they must have brought with them to fill with oil," a local police officer said by phone.

Yeah, well I guess that didn't really work out for them, now did it?
