One person died and four others were injured when a tanker loaded with three million litres of crude oil exploded on a river in Thailand on Sunday.
The Amplar 8 vessel was moving along the Chao Phraya river towards Bangkok when a spark reportedly erupted in its anchor windlass room and triggered a fire. Black smoke was seen rising from the burning tanker as it floated on the water.
