This is another case of people ignoring clear warnings of impending disaster.
The area where this town is, rather was, had a lot of illegal tree logging going on for years. They'd stripped the mountain bare and left an accident waiting to happen. The government knew about it as did the people below. The town was actually warned a landslide could happen at any time because of heavy rains earlier in the week. Some people left and waited and then said fuck it probably isn't going to happen and came back.
The whole town should have beeen evacuated. They had plenty of time and advance warning. Instead the government fucked up and at the same time the people fucked up by doubt the risks.
There are so many cases of stuff like this now worldwide its discraceful. People just don't heed the warning signs and as a result thousands get killed.
20 Million people in Kenya are dying because of no rainfall for so long the watering holes have all evaporated. Cattle and animals all dead or dying a slow death. And these people are just standing still expecting it to eventually start raining. This is insanity at its finest. The UN needs to go in and tell these folks its not happening. The weather is fucked up. No rain is coming. Move out and find a new home somewhere else. Makes me sick to my stomach watching this news report showing literally millions of little kids just being left to dehydrate and fry in the hot sun often with no shelter whatsoever. And they show these stupid fucking aid workers delivering token water that works out to a glass a day for drinking, the animals, and washing. That's not a solution its just prolonging the agony and suffering.
The world can not afford to keep ignoring this stuff impacting millions of people.
