At Least 152 Dead, 300 Missing After Massive Mudslide in Guatemala
At least 30 people have died and about 600 are missing after a hillside collapsed on a town on the edge of Guatemala City, burying homes in earth and sludge and sparking a desperate hunt for survivors. Quote:

Feel like the majority of those 600 won't be found alive.

Re: At Least 152 Dead, 300 Missing After Massive Mudslide in Guatemala
An official said the death toll had risen to 69 with another 350 people believed missing; earlier estimates had said that 600 people could be missing, but authorities established that fortunately many people were not in the area at the time. However, given the time that has passed, there is little hope for the 350+ missing ones. The aftermath of a mudslide is relatively way worse than the one of an earthquake due to the lack (if not absence) of void spaces where people could breath: besides, many believe that the mud moves slowly but in many cases like this one it may reach a speed of 100 mph and can destroy everything that it finds on its path: so, often, all rescue team can do is to recover the bodies, and in this case, officials had arrived at the death toll of 69 by counting body parts, such as heads and torsos ![]() |
