Bus Runs off Overpass, Deaths Involved

On my way to work this morning, I heard that a coach bus drove of an I75 SB overpass, falling on to the interstate below. It was a college tour bus and 6 have already died.

Of course I75 is now grid locked in both ways, and if you know Atlanta, you know how bad traffice will be all day because of this.

I couldn't help but think "What if this had happened during rush hour?" It's sad, but think god, it wasn't worse.

I wonder if this was near Spaghetti Junction?
That spot always scared me when a bus or truck went through that location.

Man that's bad. I've frequented the ATL on several occasions and traffic is horrid even when there are no accidents. My prayers go out to the victims and their families.

Terrible thing, this accident. Loss of life is always tragic.

In the same vein as loss of life, the tornados that caused loss of life and property in Alabama and Georgia lets us know we're on borrowed time. Might as well enjoy while you can.

That's really heartbreaking. My heart goes out to all their families.

It's Like That

Due to the current financial restraints the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice.
