    There were already several incidents of vehicles falling off the skyway (i recall the armored car and a Fortuner). Definitely something wrong with the barrier design.

    Let it be a reminder to all bus drivers out there that they are mortal.

    Akala siguro napaka taas ng grip ng truck & bus tires sa high speed wet road

    Looks like the bus exited over the barrier on the left, note the missing metal railings. It fell nose first, buti it didn't turn turtle...

    Nawalan ng preno?

    Strong crosswinds daw... na-cut siya ng Crosswind? na-side swipe siya ng Crosswind?

    I get this general sentiment that not too many people feel for the bus driver.
