.uucp | The name uucp was a pseudo-domain-style suffix used in the 1980s when identifying a hostname not connected directly to the Internet , but possibly reachable through other inter-network gateways . The suffix was appended to a UUCP bang path separated with a dot , e.g. , host1!host2!host3.uucp . The suffix prevented messages from being routed via the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol ( SMTP ) in mail exchangers , and it indicated that the hostname preceding it was reachable by UUCP networking . It was not a top-level domain in the Domain Name System ( DNS ) root . As UUCP hosts were not always uniquely named , and there was no official global table listing them , although the UUCP Mapping Project was an informal effort to create such a list , actual access to one ( e.g. , for routing e-mail to it ) required the use of a full bang path , which did not follow domain-name-style syntax , unless the particular software being used had been programmed to recognize particular hostnames in a domain style and route to them .

1998 Jesse pipeline explosion | On October 18 , 1998 , a pipeline explosion occurred in the community of Jesse ( geographical coordinates ) , 290 km southeast of Lagos , Nigeria .

With 1,082 deaths attributed to the blast , the 1998 Jesse explosion has the distinction of being the most deadly pipeline explosion to have occurred in Nigeria . Located in the Niger Delta , the ruptured pipeline was owned by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation ( NNPC ) , and served as a link between an oil refinery in the southeastern town of Warri , 340 km southeast of Lagos , and Kaduna , 610 km north of Warri . After igniting on October 18 , the fire burned until a firefighting company from the United States was able to extinguish the blaze on October 23 with a nitrogen-rich foam . During a visit on October 19 , Nigerian President Abdulsalami Abubakar promised to provide the necessary support to give aid in addition to develop solutions to prevent these types of tragedies from occurring again . Weeks after the explosion , the death toll continued to rise as many of those with injuries died while in hospitals , while others fled care as a result of fearing arrest by the Nigerian government on suspicion of igniting the blaze . Due to the intensity of the blaze , many victims were too badly burned to be identified , and as a result over 300 bodies were buried in mass graves . |
