dear vanagoners
this is the link to the story  through an world news gatherer
http://www.allvoices.com/contributed-news/7008806-17-put-to-death-in-facetoface-smash-in-poland

there are 11 pictures

interestingly a couple of years ago here in BC there was an incident with 17
migrant workers in a ford van
it went out of control on the highway and rode over the median barricade
several were killed and the wcb has now enacted rules which were not in
place at the time regrading the transport of farm workers

having been through a major vangon roll over i agree with mike b ....
seat belts are the thing which keeps the operator and passenger(s)  in place
during the calamity

i can only imagine the inside of that van at the moment all realized what
was going to happen
and the look on the face of the one who was talking to friend and turned
just as the first mlli second of the event took place ...
and disaster followed ...

interesting days for some and less for others
be safe
yours
