I remember when this first happened... seeing the carnage and destruction, I had empathy for everyone on the bus.

Then I remembered seeing (or hearing about) the driver of the truck, and how distraught with guilt he was - and I remember thinking about what if I was in his position - how would I feel (the true measure of empathy IMO) and I felt empathy for him as well.
The bottom line: it's sad all around, it was an accident, more tragic then most... but that's what made this incident pull at our heart strings more than any other in recent memory - it was just an accident with victims of every kind.
