A Terrible Crash

Did you read about the terrible bus crash of a tour bus taking 50 some pilgrims home from a religious conference in Guadlajara? Happened a few days ago on the highway between Mexico City and Vera Cruz, near the volcano of Orizaba, (el Pico de Orizaba). the bus went over the side and hundreds of meters down to a ravine. This was near the town of Maltrata and is in our diocese. There are maybe 2 or 3 survivors, everyone else was killed.

Well, pray for those families. The bus was old, should have been out of service. And in case any of you are fretting about our safety on that road- it's a federal double highway, and has good lights installed in the places prone to fog. But if your brakes aren't good, and you go too fast- yeah, it's dangerous. Fortunately, we use the best bus line, new, comfortable buses, excellent, uniformed drivers. Our main complaint is that sometimes they don't realize what the English dialogue really says on the movies they show with subtitles.
