Who Knew???
One of the world’s most awesome abandoned underground attractionsRachel Truman 9/11/2019 Củ Chi tunnels, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
The Củ Chi tunnels just outside of Ho Chi Minh City were part of a vast network of cramped and dark tunnels constructed by the Viet Cong underneath the Củ Chi district to hide, launch guerrilla attacks and transport covert communications.
Today, it’s possible to crawl into and explore some of the tunnels.

Worst bus accident in Texas history
Today in Valley History September 21st, 1989
On this day, the worst bus accident in Texas history occurred near the communities of Mission and Alton in Hidalgo County. At 7:30 A.M. a Dr. Pepper truck hit a Mission school bus, knocking it into a water-filled caliche pit at the corner of Five-Mile Road and Bryan Road. Nineteen children from the Alton area were drowned, and sixty were injured. Two others, including the bus driver, died later from their injuries.
