Car Accident

An Intense Conclusion to Our Trip Around Ecuador

We've been traveling through Ecuador for the last week with my girlfriend and her parents, who came to visit from England.

Today was the last day of our trip. As we were on our way to return the car we rented, we got into a car accident.

At first, I was going to write what happened, but as they say, an image is worth a thousand words. I decided that an animation must be worth at least 10 times that.

I Made This Animation To Show What Happened:

Fortunately, we were all totally fine after the accident. The bus that hit us only got a few scratches. The passengers it carried were also completely fine. Our rented car ended up looking like this:

Since it was a rented car, we were extremely grateful that we had initially paid for the full insurance package; otherwise, the repair would have been extremely expensive.

Response to Chaos

When chaos occurs, I have developed the instinct to suspend judgment, remain calm, and be grateful, knowing that things could have turned out worse.
