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

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

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

OT: Do jeeps pass the skyway too?

mukhang di hulog ng langit yan, hinahatak na yung driver pa puntang impyerno. yon nga lang na damay ang iba.

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.

Witness: Don Mariano bus was speeding | ABS-CBN News

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.

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

Hindi ba tanggal daw mukha nung driver?
