Eight teenagers were badly burned when a 55-gallon fuel drum
was thrown onto a beach bonfire and exploded.

About 20 to 40 teens were celebrating on White Sands Beach
in Kodiak, Alaska, when the drum exploded about 1am on Sunday.

Hot, burning petrol showered eight of them, causing serious
second-degree burns so bad that five had to be airlifted
to Anchorage.

Nominated for this years Darwin Award.

Rampant STUPIDITY ... people should know better than
to throw a partially-full drum of gasoline onto a
bonfire. Likely large amounts of alcohol and drugs
involved as well.

As for the 'awards' :

https://darwinawards.com/darwin/

or

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_Awards

The Darwin Awards are a rhetorical tongue-in-cheek
honor that originated in Usenet newsgroup discussions
around 1985. They recognize individuals who have
supposedly contributed to human evolution by selecting
themselves out of the gene pool by dying or becoming
sterilized by their own actions.

The project became more formalized with the creation of
a website in 1993, followed by a series of books starting
in 2000 by Wendy Northcutt. The criterion for the awards
states: "In the spirit of Charles Darwin, the Darwin
Awards commemorate individuals who protect our gene pool
by making the ultimate sacrifice of their own lives. Darwin
Award winners eliminate themselves in an extraordinarily
idiotic manner, thereby improving our species' chances
of long-term survival."[1]
