News 10 DEAD,11 INJURED IN BUS CRASH

[Berries]

Just after the crash a few weeks ago with the little kids in Victoria, scary stuff. Can you imagine being the first responders deciding who was too far gone to save first up - move on to the next person. Wonder how many bled out due to it being in the bush. Horrible stuff

 

[Alan79]

Condolences to the friends and family of all involved and Moresco to those who were in the bus. Sounds like something they'll need counselling to get through for many.

 

[south of heaven]

Survivors have reported the bus driver allegedly saying, "You think that's fast, watch this" moments before the crash.

A unavoidable tragic accident would be hard enough to take, If it was totally avoidable and down to pure stupidity, fuckkkk

Naming the couple is definitely scum. They invited and happily paid for their loved ones to share in a happy moment and now 10 are dead and you expose them without permission like they did something wrong or at least like they are monkeys at a zoo. Oh I want to see how unhappy they are. Bloody media.

No morals or empathy whatsoever.

Same goes for all of their reporting on most issues these days.

All they care about are clicks and advertising revenue over people's lives and mental health.

Exactly you and I don’t need to know who the couple is it’s none of our fucking business unless you are directly effected by it then you already know anyway it’s not a gossip click bait thing so you also click on the Sportsbet link it’s a tragedy.

They showed pictures of the victims who passed away on the news this morning. Most of them (if not all) were quite young. It's a damn shame that they had their whole lives ahead of them, and for this to happen straight after a wedding, a joyous occasion, is a tragedy.

R.I.P. to those poor souls

 

[Natboy]

Before the usual obsessed Murdoch pile on the victims have been named and their photos shown on the ABC and everywhere from the looks of it. I don’t agree with it but obviously people click on those things or they just wouldn’t cover it

 

[wendog33]

Expecting most victims to be young as guests were friends from local AFL team

Here, with this, we can see how media are so irresponsible and think they need to be first to break ghoulish details to feed the public...when lots of times the public want respect shown to victims and their loved ones and families but all it takes is for one gossip rag/tv station to show vivid pics/details and that sets them all to go off in a frenzy.

That's what it comes down to...the media scum ***** just supply what fucked up society demands.

PS all media a evil scum, Murdoch is just one of the *****. No media outlet is better than the other.

PS I hope the driver gets what's coming to him....

100% They are all the same and pieces of shit

what a joke the driver that caused the accident has been given bail

 

[ddt192]

Rest in Peace to all the people lost in this horrific tragedy. Can’t imagine the pain the affected families are going through. Life is so fragile. Be careful out there guys.

 

[senshidog]

Apparently passengers had seat belts on, and that made no difference to the injuries.

what a joke the driver that caused the accident has been given bail

Actually probably a good thing. Female Magistrate granted bail based on concerns about mental health implications of having him held in remand.

So it's one less excuse / sob story he can use when going to court and is sentenced.

Also means any custodial sentence won't be "time less held in custody".

'There are ten witnesses who gave evidence in relation to the prolonged behaviour of Mr Button and dangerous driving,' she said.

Wonder how many other times it's happened before it ended in tragedy.

Reports say he had 7 traffic offences in 30 years of driving.

Survivors claimed Button made a chilling boast to the 35 passengers on board just moments before he allegedly lost control of the vehicle.

Button allegedly said 'if you think that was fast... watch this' over the vehicle's internal microphone before the bus rolled near the Hunter Expressway off-ramp at Greta, 183km north of Sydney.

Passengers are understood to have expressed concern at the speed the bus was travelling and urged others to remain in their seats for safety, the Daily Telegraph reported.

If these reports are correct, you'd have to think that charges for vehicular manslaughter might be on the table ??

Surely premeditation like that goes beyond "dangerous driving occassioning death".

surprised they dont have seatbelts mandatory in buses/coaches.
wouldn't surprise me if they made changes after this tragic crash

Driver can't force adults to buckle up. If Police catch adults unbuckled in a bus with seatbelts the unbuckled passenger cops the fine and demerits.

 

[Caveman]

Been driving heavy vehicles (buses, coaches, rigids, semis, doubles and road trains) for 20+ years, how you roll a bus on a flat piece of road road is beyond my comprehension, unlike a truck and trailer where the trailer goes before you know your tipping, in a bus you can feel it through the steering wheel and your seat giving you plenty of time to correct.

Bloke was driving beyond his expertise.

Would be 100x harder to force 50 potentially drunk people too
