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
