Re: BREAKING: SCHOOL BUS CRASH IN MT. OLIVE

Posted by kcram3500 on Thu May 17 13:11:24 2018, in response to BREAKING: SCHOOL BUS PLUNGE IN MT. OLIVE, posted by Spider-Pig on Thu May 17 12:32:57 2018.

There was no "plunge" involved. The school bus and dump truck collided in the traffic lanes of I-80 and the bus body ended up in the level grass median.

The crash happened just 4 miles from me near I-80 exit 25 (I live between exits 30 and 28, just 200 feet from the highway).

Which brings me to another point. Why are we still putting our school children in medium-duty box trucks with windows that often suffer complete disassembly in collisions like this? The greatest school bus we could have is mothballed - the RTS. A 35-foot RTS would make the safest, most durable school bus this country has ever seen. The welded stainless-steel unitized body would not only take a hit, but would never radically disassemble like the junk we have been using for decades.
