Backtrack to busride to Huaraz

The bus journey got delayed about an hour. A woman on the bus had complications and a few people on the bus were performing CPR to try to ressucitate her as the bus raced to the next hospital. The hostess, after the 18-year-old girl was delivered to the hospital, told us that she was being operated on and did not know if the girl was OK. Later on, I overheard the bus hostess talking to the driver about the girl in past tense. I think this is the first time I've seen someone die. I don't think I will ever forget how her dad wailed helplessly as the other passengers were frantically trying to ger her heart to beat.
