Innoko, please don't hijack this thread, stick with the topic at hand. Respect other peoples beliefs thats all I can say.

in the first place, dapat alam nila na wala sa kundisyon sasakyan nila bago nila ilabas, at the same time, ipaayos muna nila para hindi makaabala ng iba.

Yun ang problema, wala na sa condition ang mga sasakyan nila ang bibilis pa nilang humarurot nak ng weteng mga taong yan.

Bakit yung driver lang? Mas malaking kasalanan yung may ari ng truck mismo! Puro kita lang ang iniisip! Kawawa lang yung driver dahil siya yung sumalo ng kagagaguhan ng amo niya.

And I cannot let anyone simply degrade my GOD who I firmly believe. Nakakaawa talaga yung mga naaksidente. Pero mas nakakaawa yung mga taong hindi na naniniwala sa DIYOS, minumura pa. Try reading the bible, mangingilabot ka sa consequence ng ginawa mong pagmumura. Don't bother to respond pare, last post ko na dito regarding the subject. Sabi ko nga, ayaw kong maging religious debate ito. MAy God have mercy on your soul! Sorry sa moderator...hindi ko lang po mapalampas...

bro.... i have to agree with glenn's remarks. hindi dapat religious debate itong thread na ito....

Well you can include the Land Transportation Office, Police, MMDA, and the local Government in your list, why? Because they don't enforce strict safety guidelines for our vehicles, too much leeway for public transport vehicles, its too easy to get a license here in our beloved country, kahit mga bulag nakakakuha ng drivers license. What do you get when you combine that with negligent drivers and owners of these vehicles... Accidents like this which can be prevented.

sumpa na rin natin mga may-ari nung truck. hehe. o kung pwede masama sa demanda, sana isama na rin. isama na rin nati ang LTO. yong din pamahalaan dyan sa antipolo kasi looking at the statistics na pinakita ng tv patrol, talaga namang marami pa ang aksidente dyan sa isang buwan kesa sa naipasang batas sa senado sa buong session nila, wala pa rin yatang ginagawang safety measures dyan.

pero karamihan talaga sa mga drivers na yan, barumbado kung mag-drive sa kalye, kahit na alam nila na kulang sa maintenance ang truck nila at sa laki nilang yon, mas malaking pinsala ang magagawa nila sa mga kasama nila sa kalsada.

Yeah, kung ayaw gumastos sa maintenance ang may ari ng truck, wala ring magagawa ang driver. As batang raon14 pointed out mas mataas ang dumpbox ng truck, so there's a possibility that the truck is overloaded, which could explain why the brakes failed.

I'll lock this thread up if this turns into a religious debate.

An accident is an accident. We will never really know what caused it... if it was a genuine brake failure or negligence on the part of the truck driver and/or owner.

May those who died RIP.

But... I think we are overreacting... many more die each day needlessly (hunger / sickness) and this can be prevented. I remember Glennster's post here about helping a poor family in the province, only a few posted a reply while in contrast threads about half-naked girls are being swamped with replies.

this kinda reminds me of the idiot taxi driver that drove me home; some people just can't resist pushing their luck -- until it runs out.

**Eismann** · June 16th, 2006 11:38 AM

Right on sir mazda...let's look at things rationally here. May aksidente and may causalties, investigation should yield preventive measures to avert these accidents in the future.

1 suggestion....be strict on trucks drivability and road worthiness. Malaking maitulong ng LTO dito....sa SLEX, most accidents involving truck are due to poor maintenance. Dapat mahigpit sa renewal ng trucks/buses registration...lalo yung mga payloaders.

Pareng Eismann: Kung staying on the right lane nga lang di maenforce sa mga trucks safety pa hehe.

Napapadaan ba kayo sa mga truck routes pag gabi, yung tipong makikita mo 3-6 trucks from the same company nagcoconvoy, grabe di talaga prumepreno kahit red light na basta magkakadikit sila tapos ang bibilis pa takbo.

I remember a few years back galing akong office (Near Robinson's Galleria) going home (via Ortigas), nasa stoplight kami ng Meralco/Ortigas and green light na kami heading east, after a few seconds (about 5-7 cars na nakatawid nun) an 8-dumptruck convoy sped from Ortigas turning left to meralco at around 60kph as in dikit dikit sila, muntik na masagi mga kotse nun.
