Rescuers retrieve 23 bodies after a wall of earth collapses upon workers at an illegally operated mine in Bolivar state.
At least 23 people have died in central Venezuela after a wall of earth collapsed at an illegally operated gold mine while dozens of people were at work.
Yorgi Arciniega, a local official, told the AFP news agency on Wednesday that about 23 bodies had been recovered from the open-pit mine known as Bulla Loca in the jungles of the state of Bolivar.
Well seeing how Chávez marched Venezuela into the oil crisis, side note to everyone: diversify, and Maduro basically said, “Fuck it! Let’s go into the forest and mine the shit out of everything to save us from this economic crisis that totally wasn’t our fault.” That it has taken this long to get such a massive loss of life (human life, obviously the rain forest has just been taking one for the team here) is actually impressive.
Kind of a reason Venezuela is, until pushed down a spot by Cuba in 2023, the second leading nation (now third) of folks attempting to enter the United States illegally. But Maduro swears there’s no such crisis and that political opponents are the reason there is/isn’t (yes both at the same time) a crisis.
See kids, this is why you don’t pardon someone who attempts a coup d’état, eventually they become President and run your country into the fucking ground so that his buddies can become mega wealthy. Then his lacky comes around after he dies, because he’s a fucking old fart, and blames the opposite team for all the woes and attempts to indicate that anyone who disagrees with him are all in a conspiracy and should be locked up.
Wow the video is terrifying

Probably, but it wouldn’t have done much, since it was an illegally operated mine.
