A vehicle full of migrants overturned in Mexico, Thursday night, leaving 54 dead and 105 injured.
49 people died at the scene and 5 more died while receiving medical attention in hospitals. There are 105 injured (83 men and 22 women).

The truck carrying the migrants crashed on a sharp curve outside the city of Tuxtla Gutierrez. The tragedy was the result of an accident of two trucks traveling on the Belisario Domínguez Bridge and Ribera Cauharé in Chiapa de Corzo.

The victims appeared to be migrants from Central America. Central American migrants fleeing poverty and violence often take dangerous routes through Mexico to reach the United States, according to the United Nations. Smugglers sometimes cram migrants into large vehicles in extremely dangerous conditions to get them over the border.

Damn.. even when resources are in short supply, these migrants will be provided a proper burial and remains disposition..

Im sure they will not be buried in a mass grave or incinerated

~ What are the astronomical odds that two cheap ass owners of trucks that refused to maintain their brakes, caused this foreseeable accident.
~ You don't have to answer, it's a rhetorical question, with an already predictable answer.

~ UPDATED REDACTION:
Seems the semi truck's trailer was full of more than 155 people so when the truck was turning on a sharp curve it overturned & flipped.
~ Factors involved:
~ Too many people in & on one side of the truck
~ The driver was going too fast
~ The brakes were not reliable enough to safely slow down the truck

Dude videotaping in the first video sorta pissed me off. There are people struggling all around him and HIS fuckwit ass can just stand there and play reporter: "Yasss, this is a great tragedy....a great tragedy that just happened here....."

Wheres a gun-toting Brazilian when you need one?

For a tragedy of this proportion and dozens of people on scene.














Only three pairs of flip flops, Mexicans, are you kidding me?

You think the guys that try to get people to borders (that will likely try to enter illegally) care about vehicle maintenance??

I was wondering when this would show up on here
