SJHL Humboldt Broncos bus crash | 16 Killed, 13 Injured

I hope that truck driver, if he's still alive, and the company he works for, are held responsible for this tragedy.

Simply heartbreaking.

I've heard there's as many as 15 lost.

This is terribly tragic, however how do you know who is at fault yet? Just curious as I haven’t seen anything.

The Mayor of Humboldt was on the radio, sounds like he's close to breaking down himself. Shows how important these teams are in the small towns across the country.

I think there was an article posted a page or two ago that implied it was the Semi's fault (it t-boned the bus), but that's about all the info we've got.

Tragic. So hard to understand.

The Toronto Star has a report......warning.......picture shows the devastation.

Based on how terrible that image is we should be bracing for the worst. Sincere condolences.

Saw a post on Instagram that alluded to the semi running a stop sign and t-boning the bus.

I hope I'm wrong.

This has had me on the verge of tears for the last hour, but after listening to the mayor and hearing the sound of his voice the waterworks finally came. f***ing horrible. I can't even imagine how the families and community are feeling.

I am having a flash back to Saskatchewan crash

 

[rynryn]

awful news, no matter cause or blame.

Everyone I've talked to said the semi ran the stop sign and the way the bus was traveling it shouldn't have been them.

Guys don't bring up rumors. We don't need that. Right now there is a horror going on, and speculation is going to make it worse.

It's absolutely frightening to know that your life is dependant on the competence and alertness of drivers and the companies that employ them. Especially when your livelihood involves 6-8 hours per week of highway travel, which is the case for me and I'm sure many others here.

You can often come out unscathed in a highway crackup with another vehicle. With a semi or 18-wheeler, you don't have a hope in hell.

 

[bukwas]

Awe that's just terrible.
Heart goes out to all who have been affected.

 

[Armourboy]

Thoughts and prayers for all of those involved. That looks scary.

Delete because people misunderstood.

I'm sad, but not nearly as sad as I was Lokomotiv crash. I hope I haven't been desensitized by media. I hope the survivors make a full recovery.

This is such a strange comment.

Dude. Wtf...


Pray for all involved. I am. That's it.

Even still, unless people believe that the truck driver was out looking to crash into a bus full of kids, it's premature to place blame. Even if he/she is at fault, and survived, that person is going to have to live with this for the rest of their life. The best thing we can do is hope for the best, and save the blame for another time when the facts are known.

This is such a strange comment.

Read the following sentence. He said he might be desensitized by the media.

 

[Flamesjustwin]

Makes you feel sick to your stomach. Thoughts and prayers for all involved.

Radio 650 just read a Facebook post from the family of Parker To in (goalie) who said he’s in stable condition and being transported to a hospital.

I had the wrong last name and position so I apologize

 

[Tw1ster]

Being from Saskatchewan this one hurts. You see these buses on the highways during the winter quite frequently and feel for the kids being away from home and to have something like this happen is heart breaking. I don't often feel like crying for things like this when I have no relation or knowledge of anyone involved but this one is different. Can't stop thinking about it. Hoping the families and the ones who survived can persevere in the coming days, weeks, months, and years.

 

[Jetster231]

Absolutely tragic. Terrible loss...

 

[ohcomeonref]

This is so f***ed and puts all of our squabbling BS here into perspective.

I hope that those affected can find some kind of peace.

 

[Channelcat]

Gut wrenching. I still think of the Swift Current crash regularly.....this looks so much worse
