Mexico Landslide May Have Killed Up to 1,000 -- Natural Disaster

UPDATE #2: On the 12AM (early Wednesday morning) replay of Tuesday's "Hannity" show on FOX News, the ticker on the bottom of the screen is saying that there are supposedly no deaths in this mudslide and only 11 are missing. We hope that this is the case and will continue to look for more updates as available.

Only 11 are missing, the claims of the 1,000 dead are not real.

Its on Univison.

@AlbertoBarreradotcom We updated that in the video description below the video. Heard what you said late last night. Very happy with this news and thanks for the update!

i'm from this town and i feel so bad about it.

[ConservativeNewMedia]

@kipyj Really sorry to hear that, my friend. Best wishes to you, your friends and your family. And to all of the residents of the town.

[kipyj]

@ConservativeNewMedia i can't contact to my family and people, all the phone line are death.

[ConservativeNewMedia]

@kipyj I'm sorry to hear that. I know there's been a lot of damage in that area of Oaxaca. The heavy rains and the wind has knocked down trees, power lines, etc. I saw some pictures. I hope that they restore the phones lines soon so you will be able to contact your family and friends in SMT and surrounding towns. We are thinking of you and those that are suffering there.

@ConservativeNewMedia If you read Univison's story, the claims of the 1,000 dead were claims made in the past and present by a government official who had been warning about this sort of thing happening and then exaggerated when it did.

[ConservativeNewMedia]

@LuisVable Si, this is terrible. I am going to put an article in the video description below the video as an update. Right now it is being reported that 4 are known dead and at least 12 missing. Thoughts and prayers.
