Read with interest your 'find'. I don't know what this guy was smoking, but about 99% of his comments are patently false and not even worth a response. Freedom of the press, I guess. These guys must have come from San Francisco!
"Submarines pop up near the Bridge of the Americas"...yah right...it is a very narrow shallow one way only channel for two miles out at sea before the bridge! Ships are lined up out at sea waiting for their turn as each shift change reverses the direction for several hours. Any sub by the bridge must have bored through straight from China. These guys have read just too many dime adventure paperbacks and take their visions from there.
In any case...such comments read by someone who has never been there could cause a poor risk rating. That is the reality as the rating is there.
Personally, I go to Panama every two or three months and have done so for many years. Working as an engineer for over 30 years, in more than 25 countries, I can tell you that Panama is in the top two or three. You can find many web sites that will show accurate reflections of the country. Google up Panama City, Panama and take a look.
Thanks for the post and search...maybe stuff like this is what caused the rating.
