In a dramatic scene reminiscent of an apocalyptic movie, a fuel tanker erupted in flames under a bridge near the Panama Canal, almost engulfing nearly a dozen vehicles in a fiery inferno that claimed one life. The terrifying incident unfolded in Panama City on Monday afternoon, with video clips shared online capturing the harrowing moments.
Intense orange flames threatened to consume cars as they surged up the side of the iconic Bridge of the Americas. This bridge, which majestically spans the Pacific entrance to the Panama Canal, was quickly enveloped in a thick plume of black smoke that darkened the skyline.
