This article says that the accident was not because of bad road conditions, but because of either mechanical or human error, stating that the bendy roads at such height required experienced bus drivers.
While my heart goes out to the families and friends in this tragedy, I can't help wonder if the LC are already spinning stories: it was the bad road, not our fault.
Not that it has to be LCs fault of course, theyre just so used to diggin themselves out of it that such defense mechanisms are second nature.

Thanks for posting the news. Legion or no Legion these are innocent young Chilean girls; my heart goes out to them and their families. R.I.P.
I stumbled upon this blog quite by accident...or perhaps Divine Intervention. How can you possibly call yourselves Christians and say the things you say about RC?
Did you go to mass today?
"Be merciful just as your father is merciful. Do not judge and you will not be judged, do not condemn and you will not be condemned."
This funeral mass brought 6,000 people together to pray! We can only imagine how many souls were brought to Christ through LC on that day.
If you have feelings about RC that need to be dealt with, I suggest you spend your time in prayer rather than on this blog.
