Bus crash in Chile.  12 Americans dead, which is the only reason it's in the news.

While any death is sad, I cannot let this slip by.  If I may be so crude as to spoil any aura of lament here, the bus in the pictures is by no means great.  Any half decent bus in Chile has a sparkly paint job, some have TVs, some have A.C, and the nice ones are double deckers.  It sounds to me like these people were cutting costs, and well, I'll leave it at that.

PS: Tur-Bus and Pullman are the biggest bus lines in Chile, and are typical of any service to be found.

...An unfortunate tragedy


I once knew a lady who spent some time in Central America. According to her, a bus ride was a scary experience.

Erm, how do I put this...  Calling Chile Central America is about the same as calling Canada likewise.

Heard about this on the radio this morning. Very sad.
