From across the channel. What is odd is not the accident but this statement that
"According to reports, authorities were not permitted access to the theme park to respond to the accident.

If it had happened in the U.S. there would be a multimillion dollar lawsuit.

The last sentence of the article is:
The proposed project is at a cost of 88 million pesos with a period of 24 months of construction.

I don't have an opinion about the cost, but I cannot imagine this taking only 24 months to complete.

The ambulance business is different there.
