You would think that the bus would have had more front end damage. I guess that explains the physics behind why we avoid getting hit by a bus

Hope the passengers tee'd off on the driver and beat him to death for being such a selfish a'hole

If he's anything like the average truck driver nowadays, yes.

They aren’t identifying the driver. Is it too soon to talk about the Ann Coulter rule?

If you think about it, it’s really amazing that people are willing to just jump on a bus or get in a taxi and hand your safety over to someone with unknown qualifications. At least on a plane there are two licensed people up there keeping an eye on each other.

On a bus there is some mouth breather who couldn’t get a normal job and we are all like “it’s cool, I am sure it will be fine.”

Some reports coming out identify him as Fred Krueger.

Anyone on this bus was fine… the deaths were the poor vehicles the bus mowed through.

4 years ago I was at a pretty busy intersection that looks like a T. I was in the straight section trying to turn left at a green light. I had to wait a few seconds because they I had quite a few cars passing. I saw a pick up truck coming behind me and he wasn’t slowing down. I took my foot off the break and hit the gas trying to outrun him. I was going maybe 5-10 miles an hour. He absolutely crushed the back of my SUV. I always say I helped myself by getting my momentum at least going forward. I still get nervous at some red lights.
