Just saw this on Twitter

@RawAlerts (others covering it, too)

quote:

#BREAKING: Mass casualty event with multiple CPRs in progress

??#Waltham l #MA

Right now dozens of Emergency crews are on scene of a mass casualty event as a bus has crashed into a tree with numerous patients and students reported seriously injured and trapped inside


Calls for mutual aid went out on the scanner.

@MassFireChaser
Waltham Ma,

2nd alarm MCI This is Per a passenger “we noticed the bus accelerate at very high speeds next thing you know we were up on the curb through trees” Very serious incident it was a full bus traveling back to campus


Looks and sounds bad.

Terrible. I cannot imagine working as a first responder to something like that. Prayers to all involved.

Any time I hear about a bus wreck I think about this:

At least twelve injured.

Local NBC link

quote:

The Weston fire chief told an NBC10 Boston crew on scene that at least a dozen people are injured. There was no immediate word on the extent of their injuries.

The large bus was carrying an unknown number of passengers when it rolled multiple times, the fire chief added. Officials did not provide any details as to what caused the crash.



How do you roll a bus multiple times?

You'd have to be going a pretty significant speed to pull it off. I saw a cargo van flip about 5 or 6 times on I-10 and eject the passenger. There was some serious torque involved. Hit the concrete barrier, bounce off and start spinning. Sounds absolutely terrifying.

Do buses typically have seat belts? Only bus I've ever been on is a school bus and we didn't have seat belts.

A great example of why punctuation matters.

Oh, well that’s unfortunate.

is vastly different in tone than

Oh well, that’s unfortunate.

Jesus, that’s horrible. As someone who has sat behind those busses many times, I didn’t even know they could go that fast.

I heard a story, maybe on here, years back about a guy who responded too the Mothers Day bus crash in New Orleans. And he took his life after because he never was right after seeing that carnage. I forgot the death toll but it was all seniors.

The update on this is one dead, many others injured, some seriously.

The bus didn't roll, but hit a tree(s).

I was expecting much worse when I read this initially last night.

Random tangent, I constantly have dreams that I’m on the school bus and the driver is trying to crash deliberately. Odd
