News out of Guatemala City, Guatemala tells of a massive landslide that tore down the side of a mountain and buried a northern Guatemalan highway. It killed at least 34 people and left rescue workers to dig for more victims. Guatemala's Vice President, Rafael Espada, said he feared the death toll could rise by at least a dozen more.
There were at least 15 others injured. Authorities still do not know how many people were in the area when the landslide came thundering down. But it buried more than a kilometer of highway near the village of Aquil Grande. I saw this on television and it was a horrible site to see. The people apparently had no warning. What a way to die - so suddenly.
