La Chureca Dump Part 1

Voted one of the 10 worse horrors on Earth, I visited the LaChureca municipal dump in Managua, Nicagaua in 2006. This is the home of over 1500 people who live and eat in the garbage. Children are born into this nightmare and breathe its toxic fumes all day long amidst its many fires and dust storms. When garbage trucks come into the dump, people fight with the vultures and the farrell dogs for the food scraps found in the trash, discarded by the local mall's food court. There is a hierarchy to who gets to eat first. Be sure to see part 2 with the innocent 10 year old girl who holds her infant brother, who is sick with respiratory problems from breathing in the toxic fumes from the fires.

I abruptly departed our conversation with the girl because a cart had rolled down the hill and slammed into the back of my car. I thought erroneously someone was attacking the car to get money for food, so I bolted suddenly. False alarm though, so kid had only lost control of his cart.

There was another YouTube video I saw last year in which this was stated. I can't find it without searching, however, it certainly gets my vote.
