June 25, 2017, 6:00 PKT (1:00 UT), Ahmadpur East, Bahawalpur District, Pakistan.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Bahawalpur_explosion
At least 153 people died (UPDATE: 219) when a fuel tanker exploded. (140 are still listed as injured [UPDATE: 34], though some of these may move from Column B to Column A.) The tanker, carrying 6,600 gallons of fuel, veered off the road, capsized, and was leaking. The people were rushing toward it to collect the escaping fuel in pots, and were caught in the explosion. Some people were speeding to the site on motorbikes, and the blast was so extreme that photos show motorbikes and automobiles burned to husks with windows exploded and tires melted.
The cause of the explosion may have been pure stupidity. People at the scene began calling friends and relatives on their cell phones, encouraging them to hurry down and collect the leaking fuel, and these people were observed smoking cigarettes. You can imagine the rest!
At 6:00 AM (the approximate time of the explosion), Mars in Gemini was exactly rising (squared by Jupiter: avarice?), among other near-angular factors of interest.
(UPDATE: The explosion apparently came about 45 minutes after the truck overturned, so about 6:45 local time.)
Overall, the charts are quite excellent. For the final day it only shows the "chaos in the streets" of an angular Neptune, which is similar to other similar events.

Astoundingly malefic! It was going to be a bad year in Punjab.
