to people who have a brain, ignore jgho83, he just wants to
start an argument with no meaning to it. he feels bus fans
side the bus company. but if you observed what has occurred
judging from the photo, a reasonable person would be able to
spot that the first window on the upper deck is in tact so the
crane's arm pierced into the bus only after the second window.
the crane was swinging out into the middle lane while the
bus was passing by, as it is a side swipe after the front of the
bus has passed it is clear the crane was
responsible. secondly, this bus is 12metres long, the
accident occured only after 2 metres of the bus had past the
crane. reaction time of about a second and immediate
application of brakes would tell a reasonable person to know
that the bus would have moved forward by a few metres. upon
photos at stationary postion showed the bus stopped about a metre
or 2 before the rear of the bus. meaning the bus
stopped around 8 metres after the accident. the bus would have
been travelling at about 20km/h, about 5.55m/sec
including reaction time and braking which is the speed
of a Sentosa Beach Tram hahaha.
so yeah, the Bus Captain was not speeding and reacted quickly.
it just couldn't be avoided on the hand of the bus. do note that
there would be traffic on the outer lane as well. a reasonable
person would know that when buses overtake, it keep to the
leftmost possible lane. cars would horn if a bus kept on outer
right lane. furthermore, it was fine when the bus passed
it, only after 2 metres did the crane pierce into
the bus.
case closed. (:
very true.
this means that it was a case of the crane smashing into the
bus, and not the bus smashing into the crane.
