At least 21 dead as bus falls off Skyway

[CLAVEL3699]

Wow, that is so high tech. I did not know that technology existed here. So the truck is sort of computerized?

Nope may device lang na kinabit sa computer box. Or I have the option na tawagan ang driver at murahin. hehehehe

Also I can call the device and makinig sa pag uusap nila na hindi nila alam. At one point nakahuli kami nang may babae sa loob nang truck.

Sometimes I hate the phrase that "Filipinos are resilient". Shouldn't we deserve better? I think the present system is not appropriate for us Filipinos.

nakikidalamhati ako sa mga naulila

Natangal na yung bus. Damn, Buti nakatambay pa ko sa bahay ng friend ko. Hindi gumagalaw traffic.

Clavel, anong device yan? May monthly ba na binabayaran?

Yes meron monthly. Bilhin yung device sa VS at nakaconnect sa globe connection lang kasi sim card ni globe ang gamit.

Mas madami features mas malaki monthly.

Don Mariano na naman?! Ito din yung muntik na mahulog sa Ortigas flyover. Notorious talaga tong mga kamag-anakan ng bus franchises na byaheng Novaliches. Kahit i-cancel ng LTFRB ang franchise, gagawa lang ng panibago yan.

Buti hindi sumabog yung bus after nahulog?.

Masamang hulog ng langit yan, magpapasko pa naman.

According to the lone witness :

"Nag-overtake sa akin ang Don Mariano bus. Nagku-kwentuhan kami ng anak ko. Sabi ko 'tignan mo itong bus na ito hindi marunong sumunod.' Ang speed ko 80 (kph) eh, nag-overtake siya sa akin so ang estimate namin 100 to 110 kph (ang bilis niya)," she said.

"Ilang meters pa lang, nakita ko biglang nahulog ang bus. Walang ibang sasakyan, ako lang talaga ang nasa likod niya eh."

According to her it's raining + overspeeding + part of skyway is downward. That a recipe for disaster especially for a big vehicle.

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

Kawawa naman ang mga nabiktima (at nadamay)... Magpapasko pa naman....

there's no need for that knee-jerk type of reaction.

OT: Do jeeps pass the skyway too?

Buhay pa raw ang driver, will undergo drug test daw.

Masamang damo talaga. I hope they incarcerate him and make sure he gets "reminders" of what he's done.

Given that the bus rolled over a few times, then fell from Skyway...it's a miracle anyone survived.

If it rolled on its side, then most likely it swerved, di ba?

Re safety of Skyway: there's really no way of designing against stupidity.

Mahirap ata yun sir, heckuva lot more people don't drive to/from work.

Yung laging nagiging issue natin dito is barumbadong drivers, and poorly maintained buses. i bet you that if those two conditions were present in any other kind of vehicle, this sort of thing would happen too.

Re the maintenance issue, dapat siguro me expiration date yung mga bus natin, ala Japan: after X years, need talaga palitan -- no repair, no overhaul, etc., just straight out scrap and replace.Mukhang wala kasing kadala dala yung proper maintenance, assuming the "walang preno" excuse is true.

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

[crazy_boy]

Hindi ba tanggal daw mukha nung driver?
