In the early hours of a summer morning, a passenger bus left the road near Bourmedes on Algeria's northern coast and plunged into a ravine, killing at least twenty-five people and wounding dozens more. The crash, occurring some fifty kilometers from Algiers along the winding hillside roads that descend toward the Mediterranean, is a reminder of how swiftly ordinary journeys can become catastrophes. As investigators begin the work of understanding what went wrong — whether human, mechanical, or infrastructural — entire families are left to reckon with sudden, irreversible loss.
