This crash is why the term "T Bone" was coined. Hit the other bus dead center and formed a perfect T.
Not to make light of the tragedy, I take the bus daily and see people standing at the front talking to the driver all the time. Even in a minor accident those people are at risk of severe injury or death.
Still, buses are much safer on a per mile basis than cars. Every mode of transportation including walking has its own risks.
Good lord. Everything I have ever known or believed has been turned upside down. I will never travel on a road again. It is gyrocopters and pogo sticks for me from now on.
There's no protection on a bus. You're not wearing a seat belt and there are no air bags. In the event of an accident, you'll likely be injured in some way.
Very sad. Now we need to ban buses to protect our people. (sarcasm).
