Controlled chaos in Ethiopia intersection

[Brainspore]

@frauenfelder

drivers and pedestrians do a good job of making it from one side to the other without dying or killing someone.

Well, for the duration of the clip anyway. Sadly the long-term effects are less promising.

“[Ethiopia] has the highest per capita rate of car fatalities in the world, with 190 deaths per 10,000 vehicles.” —Newsweek

(Caveat: Official WHO stats place the number lower (around #12 worldwide), but NIH studies suggest those official stats are grossly underreported.)
