On Monday, a taxi driver-led protest against ride-sharing company Uber held in Santiago, Chile caused an enormous traffic jam on the main road to Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport (SCL), and authorities have reported that a 65-year-old man experienced a heart attack while stuck in the jam. According to protesters, Uber has endangered the livelihoods of taxi drivers by replacing their skilled labor with unqualified drivers.
The man was taken to a hospital where he later died.

"skilled labor" taxi drivers ?
Oh, those useless old taxi drivers- the same everywhere. A little bit of customer service would have gone a long way but now it's too late for that. Dinosaurs tend to go extinct, no matter how often they inconvenience the public with unnecessary road blockades :-)
