The road is straight there, so it’s more likely that the bus had swerved due to something which happened on the road.

There has to be more to the story.

What nationality was the driver? Did sabotage (break lines cut, etc) play a factor?

It’s at times like this that we really have to marvel at first responders. The emotional damage to them has to be so severe, but they do their jobs to help those that they can. The memories of the little injured and dead angels will be with them forever.

God bless those whose lives were lost, and their families; the children who were injured and their families; the children who were not injured but who were witness to the injury and death, and their families, and bless all who will treat the survivors and families. A very painful time in Chattanooga and beyond.

Per UK’s Telegraph, bus driver is alive and cooperating with authorities.

Looking at an aerial of the road, the bus may have come out of a nearby curve too fast and went into a yaw. I’m sure we will all hear more in the next couple of days. Terrible crash.

You make about as much sense as a drunken democrat.

Can that be what you are?

Most school buses won’t even go that fast.

Of course, a tire could have failed, or something of that nature.

You don’t think that a bus can go 50? The curve advisory limit is 25 mph there.
