Twisted Travel and True Crime

The heat is deadly.  The smell of sweat, hot bodies and fear permeates the air.  It's becoming less and less breathable. Mai struggles to breath.  She is 26 and in the prime of her youth but she is tightly  surrounded by people who are sweltering in the heat just like she is. People are crying for their families and loved ones. The person standing next to her faints and falls to the floor.  There is no way out.  The strongest among them  have tried  force and the smartest have tried to figure a way out but nothing has come of their efforts.  They are all going to die. This is the story of 39 people who died inside a cargo trailer while they were being illegally trafficked from one country to another.
