reminds me (slightly) of one we passed on the motorcycle. those blankets are NEVER a good sign... considering there's too much gore underneath. there was a woman in a car that plowed across the median (just dirt and grass) and because of her speed, flew up into the air off the embankment, and bounced off a tahoe, flipping the tahoe and her car, onto yes, ONTO another car... we saw the aftermath.
a mile back, after this accident, a cattle rig couldn't stop in time, and rolled over, killing the cows. crazy shit. but fuck man... EIGHTEEN cars? yikes. that's sad. i hate seeing those accidents... for a few reasons. __________________

Crazy. It's nuts to read about the company's history of violations over the last 12 years.

me and E were jsut discussing this... and i think the whole thing could have been avoided.....
last night bill was saying that he heard froms ome one he works with that he knew some one on the bus that was involved... that the truck was ready to t-bone the bus, but the bus driver heroically turned himself into the bus, hitting head on. the bus driver is dead now i beleive. but thats besides the point... accident reconstruction: http://www.courant.com/media/acrobat...7/18727501.pdf pissedoffsol: http://www.courant.com/news/local/hc-avocr...eaking&index=14 pissedoffsol: what bill said about the bus is BS pissedoffsol: look at how it hit pissedoffsol: the bus wasn't turning pissedoffsol: he was going up the hill E SolSi: what way is up? pissedoffsol: rte 10 is on the right pissedoffsol: see the hotel? pissedoffsol: up = 44 east pissedoffsol: down = 44 west pissedoffsol: right = 10 pissedoffsol: left = that side road E SolSi: ok so left is north pissedoffsol: yes E SolSi: that means the hill is the top of the pic pissedoffsol: yeah pissedoffsol: the crash happened after the itnersection it looks like pissedoffsol: granted, the bus prob got pushed back E SolSi: so heading downhill makes the truck heading to the bottom of the pic pissedoffsol: right pissedoffsol: bill said the bus was turning E SolSi: k pissedoffsol: and then turned into it pissedoffsol: i don't see that being the case from where it is and the damage pissedoffsol: he hit front on, and then pushed back pissedoffsol: theres no way he turned pissedoffsol: maybe from the left turn lane to the straight lane? but i still don't see it pissedoffsol: i wish some one had a video of it pissedoffsol: god that would be crazy E SolSi: lol E SolSi: ok welp impact was at the intersection pissedoffsol: here: http://www.courant.com/media/acrobat...7/18727501.pdf E SolSi: outstanding :-) pissedoffsol: so yeha, the bus drive didnt do shit pissedoffsol: he was stuck there E SolSi: looks that way E SolSi: at the very most he did yell to everyone on the bus to get down and hold on pissedoffsol: true pissedoffsol: if the dump druck driver knew how to drive, and didin't late apex the thing, he would have made it past everything, and coasted on the flat part to safety, or pulled off into the field to crash on his own/hit shrubbery... pissedoffsol: if there were no cars coming up the hill like it says, he should have been real wide, and then cut back pissedoffsol: driver error pissedoffsol: brakes or not E SolSi: LMAO yeah cuz its that easy pissedoffsol: you can see a good ways coming down that hill - enough to pull it off in an emergenecy. pissedoffsol: and if there was no one coming, he would had plenty of time to slowly move over into the east bound lane, and slowy work his way back pissedoffsol: instead, he waited to long, panicked, and got the thing on 2 wheels pissedoffsol: and plowed E SolSi: youre an idiot pissedoffsol: :-\ E SolSi: dump trucks dont really handle well E SolSi: especially when loaded down pissedoffsol: understandably... but he had the time and the vision to make the maneuvor E SolSi: no brakes on that hill i get up to around 80ish in my car E SolSi: he was a HELL of a lot heavier pissedoffsol: if he threw it in a low gear, he could have at least maintained around 60-70, no? pissedoffsol: i dunno maybe im wrong E SolSi: still not making any quick maneuvers in a dumptruck ar 60 pissedoffsol: and its not quick pissedoffsol: he had time to see everything pissedoffsol: and if he got his ass over into the oncomming lane, and slowly cut back to go around the stopped cars... pissedoffsol: he probably would have made it E SolSi: yeah but he still has to make a slolom type maneuver in a dump truck pissedoffsol: and there would be no deaths... and he could run the truck off into the fields that are just pad there on the right pissedoffsol: ok, on that pdf pissedoffsol: where the top pic of the truck is, E SolSi: yeah but who knows what was comming up the hill or across the street pissedoffsol: IMO, he should already be at the far right pissedoffsol: people coming up the hill woulnd't be trapped through... they could drive off the road into the hotel parking lot/grass to get out of the way pissedoffsol: sure,t he car would get fucked, but they would live E SolSi: this is rush hour time... that area is PACKED with traffic pissedoffsol: light was green pissedoffsol: oncoming was stopped pissedoffsol: so that means, that the left turn from 44 west to 10 s had an arrow pissedoffsol: thats what i'm guessing pissedoffsol: i dunno E SolSi: fuck it thoguhts? |
