A school bus carrying a Canadian junior hockey team has crashed with a tractor-trailer in Saskatchewan. The bus was carrying 28 people. 14 at hospital, 14 dead. ‘One of the darkest days in the history of Saskatchewan’ as 14 die in bus crash.’ My God.
The school buses always seem to lose in those encounters, don’t they? Light construction, high CG, no seat belts, no air bags. Still, considering the number of passenger miles per year, I guess it’s a safe mode of transportation, certainly safer than an aircraft that crashes. The aircraft has lots of ways to avoid crashing, but once it happens, it’s lights out.
RIP to the children.
