Senegal Bus Crash [Transportation]

[Jim Eshelman]

January 8, 2023, about 3:30 AM, in Gniby village near Kaffrine, Senegal

A collision of two buses in Senegal killed at least 40 people, with 83 others reported injured. I've added the stub URL for the Wikipedia article that surely will be fleshed out later, but so far there is almost no information. (NB 2/8: Final word is 40 dead, 101 injured.)

BBC reported that "one of the buses suffered a burst tyre and collided head-on with" the other bus. The Philadelphia Inquirer reported the time (based on the Senegal president's tweet) and the name of the small village. (Reuters gave the location as "on one of the main east-west arteries near the town of Kaffrine, about 220 kilometres (137 miles) southeast of the capital Dakar.")

Kaffrine is 14N06, 15W33. I found Gniby a bit north of there at 14N25'55'', 15W39'19'', which is probably close to the exact spot. I wouldn't have called the highway through Gniby (R60) a "main east-west" road, but it is mostly east-west on the west side of Gniby before turning southeast. It's likely the right location. (Ha! - Though the atlas in Solar Fire doesn't have, and I can't find Gniby by an Internet search other than on Google Maps, the reference Mike uses for TMSA pulls it right up.)

The crash occurred within a few minutes of Saturn crossing IC; but I have rarely seen such an exact, repeated dominance of a single event by Mars for the quarter, month, week, and day!

Year: Capsolar (Dormant.) Moon-Mars.
Year: Cansolar (Dormant.)
NOTE: Even though both the Capsolar and Cansolar were dormant, the closest angularities were the Moon-Mars opposition in the Cap and Saturn in the Can.

(The super close Mars gets it a "soft" +2, though Jupiter weakens it a bit. I'm curious about the weather conditions but, in any case, this is a toxic chart.)
