sang province galing ung bus?
ReplyDeleteLawton to Alabang po ang route ng bus nila.
ReplyDeleteah ok.. thanks
ReplyDelete70 kph is not fast,,,hindi kapanipaniwala na "nahipan"ng malakas na hangin ang bus kaya nalaglag,,,
ReplyDelete,,,,ang bottomline:RECKLESS ANG BUS DRIVER NA NAMATAY...MAAARI PANG MATAGAL NA N'YANG GINAGAWA ANG "EVEL KNIEVEL" STUNT NA ITO....minalas lang sya ngayon.....the sad part:nangdamay ng mga pasaherong inosente....
Investigate the cause of accident,reiteration:70 kph and a "strong" wind is very less likely to have caused the accident.
Nagsisinungaling 'yung kunduktor (70kkh???..hhhhmm?),alam kasi nyang 80kph ang allowable MAX speed,ayaw nyang sabihing "pilit na lumilipad" ang takbo nila!
Sa isang report,sabi ng kundoktor na ang pangalan ay , Jonathan Alebar,60kph lang daw ang takbo nila...sus maryosep,dito sa report na ito,sabi nya 70kph....pababa ng pababa,sa susunod ng iinterbyuhin ito sasabihin nya sigurong 50kph,40 kph...baka ibababa pa nga nya ng 30 kph eh..nangbobola ang kunduktor.....imbistigahan....wag pagtakpan ang drayber na namatay sa recklessness!!!
ReplyDeleteIf my memory serves me, the exact report I heard was "di lalampas sa 70kph"... Pero according to another report parang nakipagkarera nga raw ang bus nila sa another passenger bus. Underinvestigation pa though.
ReplyDeleteMag-ingat po tayong lahat!
Please pray rin po sa flashflood victims...
mau,
ReplyDeletemaniwala ka sa mga yan mga balasubas talagang mag maneho yanmg mga bus na yan. mga walang pakealam yang mga yan...lalo na yang roval bus d pa ba kayo mag tatanda...
sa mga bus driver, d no ba naisip yung mga pasaherong sakay nyo..e pano din yung pamilya nyo kung sakali ngang may mga ganyang pangyayari...grabe talaga kayong mag patakbo..mga balasubas kyo sa daan...
ReplyDeletepati buhay nila di nila iniisip
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why people are blaming the driver. I actually take those buses on my way to college every morning and I think the speed limit is about 60 to 100 mph on the skyway. Plus I find the wind thing a plausable reason because the rain was heavy that morning even until the afternoon.
ReplyDeleteUnsafe din naman ang gawa ng Skyway. dapat ay kasingtaas ng Bus and railings o wall ng Skyway kagaya sa Ibang bansa.
ReplyDeleteProne sa accident talaga ang ganitong substandard skyway. Dumaraan ako dyabn paminsan-minsan pero nakakatakot. Kapag nagitgit ka ng Bus ay posible kang mahulog din.
Dapat ay itaas ang railings nito. Wall ang ilagay kung maaari.
if anybody will observe how bus moved with in manila, pahinto hinto cla to get passengers,kaya pag nasa highway na cla dun cla bumabawi ng bilis,kahit saan express way mabilis cla magpatakbo.
ReplyDeletemy opinion.
ReplyDelete1. kadalasan ng mga bus sira ang speedmeter...
2. pano masasabi ng conductor ang speed nila even a professional driver cannot tell kung ano speed unless nakatingin sya dun...
3. alam naman nating lahat na most of the bus drivers dito sa pilipinas ay reckless, they dont care less sa mga ibang motorista...
4. do you think talagang hangin lang ang may kasalanan nito? this should be posted sa international news. "bus tossed away by strong winds in the phils".
question: ikaw.. oo ikaw na private driver. ilang beses ka na muntik o nasabit ng bus? an average of 1 month??? ako been driving for almost 17 years. average of 2-3 a month. do the math.
araw-araw akong sumasakay ng dimple star bus.. and yes mabilis nga magpatakbo ang mga driver nito..toto0 na palipad talaga ang style nila..
ReplyDeleteIMAGINE THE TRAGIC EVENT THAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPEN KUNG PUNO NG PASAHERO ANG BUS THEN NUNG NALAGLAG SA SKYWAY EH GRABE PA ANG TRAPIK. SO MANY MOTORISTS ANG MADADAMAY DAHIL LANG SA PAGKAKAMALI NG ISA.
ReplyDeleteI think the better way to get this kinda accident free prone is to build a high wall both sides, it could help vehicles from throwing or jumping off the track.
ReplyDeletesana po wag na natin sisihin ang bus driver dahil sya mismo ay namatay na.
ReplyDeleteDimple star ang favorite kong bus pag nauwi ako dahil ok naman sila magpatakbo at kumportable sumakay. Nanghihinayang nga ko dahil sa 30 days suspension..magtitiis tuloy ako sa ibang bus ngayon.
Lesson na sa lahat ng bus driver ngayon na higit na mag-ingat kapag mahangin at madulas ang daan.
