Sorry kung OT.

When I was in highschool, I actually witnessed a bus running over a drunk who crossed a street. The horror of the incident was that the bus was running slow, just about 20 mph! I was in a jeepney going the other direction. The man got run over by the front left wheel and it was just about 5 meters away from me.

I even saw the face of the driver. I know he was aware that his wheel was going over the chest of the man and he was like cringing! The bus was not airconditioned and he has his window opened. It traumatized me for days as I heard the ribs of the man cracking!

The bus just continued running and the left double wheels at the back ran over the body too! I remember the legs and arms of the guy shaking involuntarily but I was sure he was dead! It happened infront of a beerhouse and there were a lot of witnesses and the police station was just about half a kilometer away. The jeepney I was riding on never stop and there were about 6 of us riding and all of us saw the incident. I later learned that the driver turned himself in at the police station.

That incident gave credence to me what everybody was talking about that the bus drivers of that company make sure that their victims die in the accident! The problem is how do you prove that in court?
