[QUOTE=oldschoolcalgary;6970910]its tragic on so many levels...
i have empathy for the driver of the bus, as well as the families of course... i think he does deserve jail time in that it was his carelessness that caused this tragedy...
it is literally the difference of a 1 second, using the calculation that 100 km/hr translates to 91 feet per second and a bus or trailer truck is typically only 50 feet long...[/QUOTE]
Yep, this totally blows my mind.
The driver stopped right before the intersection to adjust and re-attach the tarps too. He takes a few seconds more or less and this whole thing doesn't happen.
Guess there could of been a different vehicle in the intersection though...
