Burning them out before the Olympics - Zika eradication, too!

It appears ignition took place at night when many may have been sleeping.

Very sad. Like life was not already challenging for them.

If there was wind with those old, dry wood structures so close together many would not even have a chance to escape if they were sleeping.

Tragic...

No words are enough for my sadness ...

.....strange that vast expanses have been razed...or otherwise...around the world....

...since The Gulf Coast Obliteration.....

..accident after accident...
