Thanks for reminding us TSgt Joe C. that in 1971 the mining camp town of Chungar, Peru was overrun by a massive landslide which killed 600 men, women and children in a scene reminiscent of Pompeii. Pompeii was a wealthy Roman town when Vesuvius blew its top.
On the other hand, poor miners were buried in the landslide in Peru.
My uncle-in-law was a missionary to Lima, Peru in those days until close to the end of the century when he retired to this nation. His heart is still with the Peruvians he ministered to through Shining path, landslides, death and disease among the faithful and missionary trips deep into the mountains.
