Dont give New Jersey any ideas. They are trying to ban coffee while driving. No, thats not a joke. I say again: Dont give The State - at least that wanna-be Massachusetts state, heh, again is debatable about if thats good or bad - ANY ideas.

And. To the sarcastic and smarmy folks.. it was two BUSES, kinda surprised the 59 was supposed to be empty if they said right (the bus with the bus in the side of it was the 13, both major lines, also Broad and Marketing is the pinnacle of that city) It would be like a semi running a red light into 6 or so cars in gridlock traffic in NYC. That, and as pointed out how buses are very different, that whole row of people got ejected into the opposite window.. several rows based on how it was configured. So.. to those folks I would say: Take a chill pill, and go hug your dog or cat or kid.

Im not a bus rider, but I was. And may to be again. Im still trying to figure out how the bus got all that speed.

What?

That multiple vehicles on a road would run into each other?

How prescient...

Actually, over 30,000 people die annually on American roads. That's over 80 people per day, on average. But the secret behind those numbers? They've been steadily dropping for years. Ten years ago, the number was over 40,000 - even though we've gained over 30 million people as a country since then. Forty years ago, the number was over 50,000. Again, we've added over 150 million people in population since then, which means that while the number of fatalities has been dropping, the fatality rate has been dropping even more precipitously.

This. It cracks me up how people say, I am not taking a bus because of something like this. Um, 30,000 die a year in the US in automobile wrecks. Geez.

It's NEWARK. In some sections of town mothers fire a couple of bullets into their kids' bedrooms to wake them up for school.. Why would an accident bring on increased police presence?
