I'm not sure who enjoys downvoting all of the posts in these kind of threads but why don't you focus on downvoting this post alone instead.

Not a lot details yet. Just saying that the driver apparently hit a tree, which is obvious from the pictures. DA investigators interviewing the driver, but I'm sure that's just a precaution for now.

Jesus man, my condolences. Not quite sure how to say, I hope anyone you may know isn't among the unfortunate.

Just curious why someone is down voting this thread. It's very topical and comments are sympathetic.

Chattanooga TV station says 6 killed.
ETA: Earlier reports said 12, so I hope the 6 is more accurate.

How does this happen at residential speeds?
I am often walking in my neighborhood when the buses run in the morning. The limit is 25 MPH, and people raise hell about speeding cars, but the buses haul arse faster than any other vehicles.

6 appears to be the number.
Posted on 11/21/16 at 6:26 pm to ItNeverRains
Just awful. Did the driver fall asleep?

So sad, so young. Couldn't imagine what the families are suffering. Feel so bad for them.
Side note. Huntsville Al about 1 1/2 hrs from Chatt remembered those who died in a bus crash 10 years ago. Yesterday.

Yeah I don't think any are blaming the driver without knowing the complete details, but based on the limited information they've released it seems hard to comprehend how it could have happened and been so fatal.

I'll never forget that day. Was sitting in history class in the 9th grade when we got the news. Can't even imagine. Hate it.
ETA: Happened in my hometown a few miles from my school (bus was not from my school).

Children are dead in a bus accident and some people are worried about downvotes.

This is very near my place. Sounds like it's driver fault right now, no other vehicles involved, they are saying speed was the major factor.

CNN - Bus driver arrested
