Crazy to think we all just got to see the moment so many souls just left this earth

People will joke about these until it comes to their life

Cancel driver's license, drive worse than me

[elkaiozen]

Seems like he should have had every oportunity to stop well before going over. Was this intentional?, did the drive have a heart attack or something?, did the breaks go out on the bus and he just freaked out? Definitely need more information to understand what happened here.

Even though there is a terrible war going on this is very sad. My condolences to the families and friends.

Wygląda na celowe działanie kierowcy.
Pijany czy terrorysta?

Походу у водителя случился сердечный приступ. Бабушка, царство ей небесное, мне рассказывала, что один раз ехала в автобусе и у водителя также сердце прихватило, почти сразу скончался. В последний момент он еле-еле смог вывернуть в кювет, чтобы не случилась авария на дороге, и таким образом смог спасти всех пассажиров

Driver did not sleep night before and there were some problems to the bus, he lost control of it. The bridge's name is Bridge of kisses

[benpollani]

So many sick comments. What is wrong with people?

[Anonymous-qlyd]

Imagine when the driver was taking those rash turns and hitting the car, the passengers inside must have been so terrified and screaming. They knew their life was in danger but couldn't help it.

[BATYTF]

Thank God I wasn't trapped in a vehicle underwater

[kevisngkaijun]

7 people is killed. But 1 passenger and the bus driver survived.

[roxanne_george]

Apparently, this was some migrant-run bus chain and the migrant driver was called for an extra shift 5 hours after he'd completed a 20-hour!!!! shift. Interestingly, the first three people who valiantly rushed to the passengers' rescue were migrants too.

[saroshvarghese]

I think that the driver was heavily drunk

[asurupenn]

“They have an amazing public transportation network that allows amphibious busses to travel in waterways, during periods of heavy traffic. Just another way in which mother Russia is superior to the US.”

Those drivers of European countries should take training from Bangladeshi or Indian bus drivers. 🤧
