Yeah,

This was a terrible accident. Conventional school bus, one with the engine in front. Its moving down the freeway, 55mph, the driver is momentarily distracted. When the driver regains focus, traffic has stopped still in its path. The bus climbs upon top of a honda civic.

The two, unsuspecting, occupants are killed. Top of the civic looks like an open can. one huge tire is inside the car.

Im just wondering if the results would've been the same had the vehicle been a volvo. Like my 90-240 for instance.

Its very disturbing to see this kind of thing happen. Defensless is the word that comes to mind. Another is sitting duck! I cringe every time I see a cement mixer, school bus, tractor trailer etc. Or behemoth suv for that matter.

Jez....
