On January 21, 2012, a Bolivian bus slowly drove onto the famous "Road of Death", which is located in the eastern foothills of the Andes Mountains, built on a cliff at an altitude of 5,000 meters.
The accident at the time killed 18 people and injured 25 others.
The results of the investigation after the fact said that the driver was tired of driving, but in fact, according to statistics, as many as 200-300 people lost their lives on this road every year.
And the bus that crashed is not only this one.
There was another bus, and when it was halfway down, the steering wheel suddenly did not listen to the call. For the experienced driver, he knew that he could not panic at the moment, so he tried to adjust the steering wheel back, but the bus seemed to be out of control, turning around randomly.
Helplessly, the driver chose to emergency brakes, as long as the car is stopped, it can naturally keep everyone safe. As a result, he actually stepped on the brakes, but the car rushed to the cliff "excitedly" as if it was controlled by something.
A few days later, another bus with 26 people rushed into the cliff.
Of course, it is not only the bus that crashes, and the cause of the crash is not only to rush to the cliff, such as sometimes two cars colliding. For the specific cause of the crash, the relevant staff can not give it.
As a result, the "Road of Death" had to be closed and the road was explicitly forbidden for vehicles to pass from this road, so the road was abandoned.
However, because of the reports and propaganda of the outside world, this road has not disappeared from the eyes of the world because it has been banned.
On the contrary, it welcomed many explorers and some tourists, and gradually it became another attraction.
If you're traveling to Bolivia now, someone might recommend you to check it out. But if it was me, I wouldn't dare to go.
