Re: Venezuela - A lot Of People Burnt To Death
Burnt is used as an adjective more often, and burned as a verb in the past tense. So the second part of what you said is bollocks. Alot of bollocks, in fact.

Re: Venezuela - A lot Of People Burnt To Death
What the fuck goes on in Venezuela? I mean, we know the leadership are assholes. but how do you completely cover 6+ lanes of highway with a continuous wall of fire with burning vehicles and bodies across all lanes? I have never seen that in the USA and we have much more traffic and vehicles than Venezuela.

Re: Venezuela - A lot Of People Burnt To Death
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-67703483 "At least 16 people have been killed in an accident on the outskirts of the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, officials say. A lorry ploughed into several cars which were stopped on the highway after being involved in an earlier accident. One of the vehicles appears to have been transporting a highly flammable liquid. Videos from the scene show the highway, which links the cities of Guarenas and Caracas, engulfed in flames. One woman told local radio that she had lost her parents, two of her brothers and a sister-in-law in the accident. "They told me they were all dead," she said. Firefighters and emergency services were deployed from Caracas to extinguish the fire and tend to the injured. The deputy minister of risk management, Carlos Pérez Ampueda, said 17 vehicles had been involved in the incident. Footage shared on social media showed a burnt-out passenger bus lying on the highway. Mr Pérez Ampueda, described how the tragedy had unfolded. "There was a minor crash involving a lorry and three cars on Caracas-Guarenas carriageway, where old asphalt was being replaced," he told local radio station Unión Radio. He said that a lorry then ploughed into this crash site. "The first accident happened at 07:00 and the second at 07:15," he explained. He added that the driver of the lorry might not have been able to see the site of the first accident because of "poor meteorological conditions". But locals took to social media to complain that road maintenance had been neglected in many parts of the country during Venezuela's economic crisis." |
