Horrific Accidents in my area

Yesterday, 2 buses, a truck and a semi were involved in a fatal accident on I-44 about 5 minutes from our house. The buses were carrying a HS band to 6 flags. The crash happened in a work zone.

hxxp://www.stltoday.com/news/local/metro/article_d01c27bc-a0ad-11df-8708-0017a4a78c22.html

Now the news just showed a 6 car pileup in Illinois. One semi and 5 cars/trucks. All were on fire. I mean it just happened and the News helicopter get there early.

Prayers go out to everyone involved.

The bus crashes made the national news. I hope there was seatbelts on those buses, though last I heard two people died. Sad.

Seat belts are not in the buses in Missouri. The driver of the truck (which was a ball of metal under one of the buses). And a little girl in the back of the 1st bus.

Seat belts would not have saved those 2 lives.
