RIP
Praying for them and all involved
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/4573721.stm
Just beat me to it Liam. RIP, terrible, terrible tragedy.
Awful, awful, just heard it on the radio, didn't get many details, but once i heard schoolbus and crash, my heart sunk. Tragedy when anyone dies on the roads, but when schoolchildren are involved it makes it especially sad.... :(
RIP, sympathies to the families, i can imagine they will be devasted and heartbroken :( :(
What a terrible tragedy indeed. Just heard about it.
May they all rest in peace.
Totally-the trauma suffered by the survivors is just incomparable to anything I'd say. Again, RIP and my sympathies to anyone involved in any way with this crash.Quote:

horrible horrible. :( :(
Know that road well and will chat to Meath relations to check if any of family involved. Jesus, I hope not.
My condolences to families.
I am bloody sick of hearing road fatalities this year. And I don't mean I'd like to be oblivious I'm just disgusted we're losing so many lives. Scantest consolation as it would be to the families of those involved, I hope it is not due to some negligence or carelessness this time. May they rest in peace. Truely awful.
hear hear. awful news. RIPQuote:

Terrible news. R.I.P. :(
just heard the news, another 6 are SERIOUSLLY injured, hate to say this but saw the bus as well it looked like it only over turned once, and that id say most werent wearing seat belts and that a few must have hit/crushed others. it was on the main stretch as well, we do often take that back way home, and its bendy before that, but not where the bus overturned, so its horrible, but its even more horrible to think that this could have been prevented had they been wearing seat belts.
again im not trying to defect from it, some of those buses might not even be kitted with seat belts.
Eh, I've never ridden Bus Eireann, do they ever have seat belts? Dublin Bus don't have any but perhaps only buses within cities don't.
well if it cost money then probably not, but then again would ye wear it on a bus especially school kids?
i know for one i shall start to wear them as i have found that a lot of bus drivers drive very fast, not saying that thats the reason again btw.
not sure,been a while since i have been on bus eireann, but in the north ulsterbus/translink, on the goldliners buses they have seatbelts and i always wear them if i am on the bus.Quote:

Very depressing news. May they R.I.P
Thank you everybody for your kind words. My 15 year old cousin was one of the girls who died on that fatal accident yesterday evening (her beautiful smile will always be remembered in my heart). Another cousin was sitting beside her but came out unscatched, Thank God.
To answer some questions. There are no seatbelts on any public transport vehicles in this country or in the uk, only private vehicles. The bus crashed trying to avoid an accident that happen in front of the bus where 2 cars had collided.
