Tlahui and David Riker

Why was this town in the news all over the world?

Watch DN!.

Initially the government feared one thousand dead Mixes.

Happily Tlahui has only eleven missing, nobody has been found dead. Why were these news all over the world?

My guess is that the Mexican Government is hosting in Cancún a World Environmental meeting at the end of the year, and they need the exposure. This sad incident provided the excuse.

Initially nobody could go to the town, not even in helicopters, and a thousand people were feared dead.

The story had legs because the situation is dire in Santa María Tlahuitoltepec, Oaxaca, Mexico and the world.

We are in deep trouble.

Great work David Riker!
