Terrifying & True | La Mancha Negra: Venezuela’s Mysterious Black Road Stain

La Mancha Negra was reported as a sticky black stain spreading along Venezuela’s Caracas airport highway. Drivers described dangerously slick pavement, and repeated cleaning attempts only added to the mystery. Terrifying & True examines accounts of changing road conditions, theories involving asphalt, oil and sewage, and the political suspicions that grew around the problem. Dramatic accident figures circulated, but the scale of those claims remains disputed. Was this an unresolved road hazard, a story enlarged by repetition—or a mixture of both? We're telling that story tonight.
