At least 21 dead as bus falls off Skyway

[foresterx]

Hydroplane? Malamang di alam ng driver ang tungkol dun. Bat pa sya kamo nabuhay, kawawa naman yung mga inosenteng commuters sa katangahan nya.

kahit naman alam niya ang hydroplane wala din naman siya magagawa kasi gulong nung mga yan madalas kalbo na so mas mataas ang chance na mawalan ng grip.

Hindi ba tanggal daw mukha nung driver?

Oks lang yun... matagal na atang natanggal yung utak ng mga yan.

Sang-ayon ako na i-drugtest yung driver. Pwede na siguro kung mga 5L na dugo ang kunin nila sa kanya?

The problem with the skyway really is the lack of speeding guns at night
We know that these guns are much more expensive, but they are necessary
Buses would obey the law during the day, but at night...... they go 120+ easily

Another thing is that they have recently repaved that area, as of now, there are no lines at all on the road
Im not sure if that could be a cause for the accident

The Skyway should ban all kind of buses and trucks in using it's elevated road. They have higher risk of accident due to poor maintenance and driver behavior. If they let them use it, surely won't be the last & more to come.

I have never seen trucks use skyway

The local speed cops have a new toy. A speed gun with night vision camera that is good enough to capture your plate number from 500 meters away at night. So far they have just ONE of this because it's pretty expensive. No word if it's laser or radar based though.

Wala talaga mangyayari diyan unless ma regulate ng LTFRB un may ari ng mga prangkisa nitong mga to. Pero ano ba naman un maglagay sa LTFRB para padulas. Wala pakialam mga tao dyan, basta sila meron kahit ilan pa ang mamatay ayos lang sa kanila.

Is it possible to simply ban buses from the skyway?
I know its elitist, but they simply arent fit for the roads, much less the skyway

I was almost going to leave my house at 4:30-5 today, thank god I didnt

mas lalong traffic sa osmena-slex pag ni ban ang buses sa skyway sir. malaking tulong din yan sa commuters. problema lang talaga mga barumbadong bus drivers.

According to the conductor's wife. Her husband and the driver were driving the bus for 2 days straight. WTF!

That's inhumane!!! Who owns Don Mariano Transit? Were there any survivors?

According to the survivors, they were awake so they able to brace themselves before the crash. Most of the fatalities were the ones sleeping.

grabe yung closed van, parang pinagpatong patong na lang na yero ang itsura

[brainmafia_310]

kung ako ang hahatol sa hayup na drayber ng bus na ito, kung namatay siya bago ko ipalibing tengena niya tapusin muna niya sentensya niya. eto ung siguradong mabubulok sa kulungan.

It's good to know that there were people who survived. I was afraid that there were no survivors. Bus drivers should be extra diligent when driving talaga. They are handling a huge vehicle that can cause a lot of damage and they are responsible for the lives of a lot of people. Buses don't have seatbelts pa..,

Saw this on tv, there were almost no threads left on the tires of the bus.

Don't these buses undergo regular inspection? At the minimum during registration? Unless in less than a year e nakakalbo na brand new tires ng bus? Geez!!! Parang pag sumakay ka ng bus kalahati ng paa mo nasa hukay na

[Monseratto]

Heard an interview with the relatives of the bus conductor. The conductor knew bus driver was reckless...

The bus also fishtailed out of control before hitting the railing according to initial video findings...

Usually wala pang 6mos kalbo na yun gulong ng PUV. Tsaka pag reckless kasi yun driver ang nagkakaroon ng sanction madalas yun operator tapos ang gagawin ng driver lilipat lang ng ibang bus company. Ganyan lagi ang lakaran sa LTFRB kahit na yun driver ang may kasalanan operator pa din kaya yun ibang driver hindi nagtatanda dahil alam nila hindi sila apektado.
