50 die after bus plunges off road in southern Brazil


On Saturday, March 15, A bus that was driving a group worshipers that were headed to a religious event in Santa Catarina, southern Brazil dropped straight down off the road in a deep narrow fall, after turning a steep corner. The people working on this case counted today that 50 worshipers on the bus did not survive the fall. They said that the bus fell down 1,100 feet and 12 of the people on the bus were harmed, including four bodies that still have not been found. The article that I read also stated that there were many ambulances, helicopters, and help in general that came out to the scene to rescue the people that needed help, and find out exactly what went on Saturday during the incident. The article states that overall each year there are many accidents that happen on these roads in Brazil including a round up of 43,869 people that have died there because of the conditions. After I viewed the picture that was posted on the article, and scoped out the background scene of where it happened, I understood how it would have killed and injured so many people, and I feel that it should have a safer route overall due to all of the deaths that happened from people plummeting off those roads in southern Brazil.
