LOL @ the man (driver?) who looks glad to be out of there.

They must have been piled from the floor to the roof. I counted 34 children, 36 when you add in the man and the woman. Wonder how far they had to travel?

I see some counted more, I might have missed a couple.

where 11 of us were packed in a VW bug headed to Provincetown, MA from Amherst.

(it was an older model with front trunk and bench seats in the front and back)

One of those spontaneous things. It required strategic seating arrangements.

We had just come off a very successful rush party and decided on the spur of the moment to go serenade the frat houses. Only one car.. so we packed it up

I've only seen a little of it, it's really heartbreaking, kids are risking their lives on a daily basis to get there.

This is one of the easier ones to watch:

Those poor children

I read in the comments on the video that the Nepali government finally built a suspension bridge after the video was shared on social media and the situation got a lot of attention. Finally!

I can only assume that they dry the kids out before packing them in, then add water at the end of the journey so they can flesh out again in time for class.
