Part 23: BANGLADESH.

Vanzilla was in jet mode flying over Eastern Southern Asia.

Cody: So what's our next destination?

Nicole: You'll love it Cody.

We were flying over jungles.

Nicole: Here we are guys. Welcome to Bangladesh.

Lincoln: So this is Bangladesh. It looks like dense jungles.

Sakura: It does.

Shanan: Bangladesh is also one of the poorest countries in the world.

Jared: That's right Shanan. There's hardly any money here in Bangladesh for the people to live here.

Nicole: That's right guys. Bangladesh here in Asia and Haiti in the Caribbean Sea are both the two poorest countries in the world.

Lori: That is literally so sad.

Leni: Totes. These people must be starving.

We landed in a village and it was of very few people.

Jessie K: I know this village. This is the sight of the 1970 Bhola Cyclone.

Linka: What happened then Jessie?

Jessie K: It was a terrible event. On November 3rd-13th, 1970 a Category 4 Cyclone in the Indian Ocean slammed into Bangladesh head on and killed over 300,000 people making it the deadliest tropical cyclone in lives.

Luna: That's horrible.

Sam: No kidding. How strong was it?

Jessie K: Category 4 with winds at 150 Miles Per Hour. That storm was the deadliest hurricane on record and it was not pretty.

Luan: That's awful.

Eddy: It sure is.

Jessie K: Yeah. Another event later happened. It was the 1971 Bangladesh Genocide. It took place during the Bangladesh War for Independence. Pakistan and India wouldn't let Bangladesh be free. This all lasted from March 21st to December 16th, 1971 and in a massive flurry of deportation, ethnic cleansing, genocidal rape and mass murder, close to 3 Million people were killed.

Everyone gasped in sheer horror.

Naruto: That is absolutely awful.

Sakura: That is terrible. How could they be wiped out like that?

Me: Racial discrimination and bias-motivated evil. The people of India hated Bangladesh and wanted to keep them all for themselves.

Varie: That's terrible.

Cody: It sure was. I can't believe that some people are that consumed by their own hatred, ignorance and fear.

Lola: Those people were monsters.

Lana: That's right. People like them are monsters to the core and are absolute demons. No offense Naruto, Fu, Lucy.

Naruto: None taken Lana.

Fu: We know what you mean.

Lucy: None taken.

Rita: What those people did was absolutely horrible.

Lynn Sr.: I agree. They were motivated by hate.

Zoe: That's right. It was not pretty.

Hercules: It sure wasn't.

Aylene: Yeah.

We later walked around all of Bangladesh and it was all mostly dense jungle and it was beautiful.
