A neighbour, his brother, another neighbour and his two brothers all proceeded to enter the tank to rescue others in the group. But they all died after exposure to noxious gases in the tankThis would make a great Lemmings game.

I know what you mean. Each time another person didn't come out, the next had to have known the chances were slim, but took the chance to try to save the others.
