Twelve people died today and at least 49 were injured after a bus fell off a bridge over the Mahanadi river in Odisha's Cuttack after it hit a buffalo. The bus, carrying 30 passengers, rammed the side of the bridge, broke through the concrete wall and fell several metres to the riverbed below. The driver of the bus lost control when the buffalo came in front of it, swerving the bus to save the animal, news agency PTI reported, quoting eyewitnesses

quote:

Visuals from the spot show bodies on the riverbed and the mangled remains of the bus, run by a private operator. The buffalo also died in the accident, and its body has been recovered

Why does it always seem to be "12" dead or injured?

God some of you simpletons are stupid.

A) It seems as though people outside of who was on the bus were injured in the accident

and

B) Not everyone who was on the bus was killed.

What is wrong with some of you people

12 people are dead and y’all think it’s appropriate to make jokes?

A) I didn't know any of the Indians

B) There are like 500 million more of them, it's not like we just lost half the American Bald Eagle population here

C) Lighten up Francis, it is always appropriate to make jokes.

Why did the buffalo cross the road? Well, he didn't.

Similar situations occur in New Orleans. An empty bus in a crash will inevitably have multiple injuries (all calling the Morris Bart # on the side of the bus)

You are in a bus. Run the fricking buffalo over. This rule applies to dogs, cats, goldfish or any other animal in the road. Its not worth risking human lives for some dumb buffalo or any other animal.
