Teens Die In Konawa Oil Tank Explosion Fire
Two teen boys Tim Choate and Michael Untersee died when a 20,000 gallon oil tank exploded while they reportedly sat on it lighting fireworks at an oil tank battery near Konawa Oklahoma. Witnesses described the blast visible for miles as the tank was hurled about 250 feet across a road. Local Sheriff Charles Sisco noted the youths were known to sneak out at night to meet at the site. Authorities planned dental records to confirm identities due to severe head trauma.
