    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.

    It is right there in the story " 20 to 40 teens" and "about 1am on Sunday."

    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]
