It doesn’t help that they pack their buses to the gills with people and caged livestock going to market.

WOW! They fell 2625 feet and there were 14 survivors! I guess they were up to date on their prayers. RIP the other 40.

Not a free fall. More of a roll down the side of the ravine.
But still amazing that there were survivors.
To: BenLurkin
2,625 feet. Almost exactly 1/2 of a mile. That’s a long time to wait for impact. God keep this people in his care.

Brake failures in those Bolivian mountain roads are a real pain in the neck.

Heck, even Wikipedia has a special page for the iconic "bus plunge story", predating the internet by decades. An all time favorite.

In a remarkable coincidence, I have spent the last hour reading about the silver mines in Potosi, where silver has unearthed since 1545. The city of Potosi has an elevation of 13,420 feet above sea level.

Note to self: Don’t take bus rides in the Bolivian mountains.

I don’t think it was a fault it was a fault. It was more of a ravine. JK

We were on a similar road in the Taiwan mountains a few yrs ago. Bus coming to take us back was delayed for hrs due to rock slide. Next day watching the news the road collapsed and a full bus fell 800 ft and killed everyone on board.

When I was a youth, I would have been interested in going yo Europe: Germany, France, Italy. No more. I have changed, and Europe has changed more. I am now 150 miles from the Mexican border, and the onky reason I could think of for going there would be to get car upholstery done cheap. Hard pass.

I’ve driven some of those roads, at every sharp corner there is a shrine to those who did a Perter Pan off the edge. They’re everywhere. I’m amazed any survived.
