    Parang "colgate" at "ajax" lang yan.hehehe

    Anyway, perpendicular yung tama sa railing kaya tumalon yung minibus.
    Kahit anong tibay ng railing pag ganon lang ang design e sisirain talaga lalo na kung bus o truck ang babangga sa ganong speed.

    its not serving it purpose...

    Walang matibay sa higway pag high speed at uncontrolled vehicle ang tatama sa isang bagay.
    Ang problema yung discipline nung driver sa pagmamaneho. Posibleng puyat at nakaidlip yung driver nung mga oras na yun.

    2x ng nangyari sa akin na napapikit ako habang nagda-drive (long drive), buti na lang at naramdaman ko yung mga bato sa shoulder nung pumapaling na yung gulong. Third time, pag may sign na ng fatique at sleepiness, tabi na sa gilid, ikot sa sasakyan o pahinga muna sa isang safe na lugar.

    I suggest you just let it go, or you'll end up crazy. Baka sa susunod ikaw na tumalon sa Skyway niyan ��

    i know its the power of recall. i just think its sad. that in this day and age, people are still ignorant of simple things. now people being ignorant would drive me crazy..

    back to the topic.. na tangal ba talaga ang railings?

    While that kind of hit may be impossible to guard against without incurring major cost, a better barrier would have stopped the Don Mariano accident.

    Even though the drivers are at fault, there is no getting around the fact that portions of the barrier are inadequate, and that the drainage and smoothness of portions of the Skyway are sorely lacking. For a road that costs so much in toll, you expect much better.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    According to the DOTC chairman they are now considering to increase the height of the railings as part of the safety measure in skyway. It doesn't look good aesthetically but safety rules over aesthetic.

    the design of the current skyway or skyfall will again be continued and used sa stage 3...

    now the bus/vehicles will fall not only on roads below but maybe on houses and other establishments...

    pwede ba dumaan bus sa stage 3? pag nahulog yun sa meh sta.mesa at araneta sigurado dami patay

    OT: LOL!!! pinoy tayo. nasanay sa brand names. nong maliit pa ako, inuutusan tayong bumili ng colgate na close-up at bumili ng gasul na shellane. anyway, dapat baguhin ang design ng skyfall. the two accidents should be a wake up call for the operators of the skyfall..
