After several fatal accidents and unjustifiable costs, still 3 to go.
It's a pity that the ignorant masses are too disconnected from what's going on behind the scenes with the corruPT federal government, to realize they are all getting shafted. But if they're happy, I say “then screw them”...the problem is that the hardworking minority who have to support all these scumbags , are also getting screwed.

@3...don't need to see any photos...they don't tell the real story....read a decent newspaper - may I suggest “Folha de SP”, or “OESP” - or if they are beyond your limited comprehension, just watch the news on the TV....first, remove the potatoes from your ears, and then, listen.

You have to be taking the piss.
