A Via Rail train just whacked a double decker bus about an hour ago, and it's about a 5 minute drive from me! 5 confirmed dead and the train derailed......:willy::sadangel:

I'm always amazed, with all the safety equipment we have now days, that anything gets hit by a train.

the bus appeared to drive through a lowered crossing barrier. :banghead:

Bus drivers typically aren't the most cerebral folks in the workforce.

6 confirmed dead, over 30 injured. Some of the deceased were ripped in half. Bus driver's dead, and might have had a stroke or heart attack...never slowed down, and ran through the barricades. All train traffic to Toronto stopped while they get a crane to reposition locomotive onto tracks.

Damn, those trains are tough! No noticeable damage to front of train. :(

clearly we must ban trains and buses
