Tanzania bus crash leaves dozens dead

Two lorries and a bus have collided in Tanzania's highland region of Iringa, killing 41 people, police say. The accident happened after a lorry driver swerved to avoid a pothole, the regional commander told the BBC. One of the lorries' containers fell on to the bus that had been heading to Dar es Salaam, crushing many passengers to death, he said. Traffic accidents are common in Tanzania, where the state of the roads and the vehicles is often poor. March 11; http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-31837200

Regular readers will be able to connect this news with a spate of other accidents under the Mars-Uranus conjunction of March 11.  Shown here is  Tanzania’s national chart [1]. The Ascendant [17cn]  is conjunct stars in the constellation Geminorum. In Greek mythology,  Hermes or Mercury, the ruler of Gemini, was the lord of the roads and travelers [2]. In addition the Ascendant[17cn]  forms hard aspects to the current Uranus [15ar]-Pluto[15cp] square. Transit Mars [15ar] has triggered this combination on March 11 becoming the cause of the accident.

The upcoming solar eclipse [29pi] is on the MC at Iringa, Tanzania conjunct the star Scheat. Beta (β) Pegasus, Scheat,[29pi] is deep yellow star on the leg of the Winged Horse well known for its connection to accidents.
