Pipeline was drilled by thieves and around 300 locals approached to gather the spilled fuel.........they’re lucky the deaths weren’t higher..............why people would stand on top of a line spewing raw gas is beside me, don’t these people think?
As a human watching other humans, it is really sad to see those still walking but so badly burned. I’m guessing that the care available in Mexico is years behind the USA. I was reading that in the past, 50% burns were pretty much fatal. Today in the USA one can sometimes survive 90%!! Of course what sort of life that is, I don’t know.
Another study I just saw said that 30% burns or more, half resulted in death, and they all had issues 5 years later. All the way from mental issues such as anxiety to severe health problems.
Just as in terrorist attacks, while the number of dead is terrible, the horrific damage to the injured makes me wonder if it was me - would I be better off just dying in the event?
