SJHL Humboldt Broncos bus crash | 16 Killed, 13 Injured

[Butch 19]

And guess what. A person (presumably the driver) has been found to have committed a crime, presumably running the stop sign and it led to mass loss of life. So it's most likely a lot more than just some unavoidable accident that couldn't have been prevented or anything like that.

I am a bit surprised that many of you do not want to even visit the possibility of adding more safety features at this intersection.

This is the simple fix that they did near my house where drivers speed: they added a speed radar sign, so if you are approaching the sign above the posted speed limit, strobe lights flash at you showing you how fast you're driving. They really get your attention and you slow down.

This should be done at all intersections where there is a history of serious accidents and/or have a perceived blind spots - like the trees at this intersection.

This can't be more than $8,ooo - $10,000 per intersection.

At least add some bigger and more stop signs and flashing red lights.

I think we should all take a second and read with our finger under the text and sound our words out.

They can punish someone without releasing the name of said person. LMFAO last group the tried that i think something bad happend.

There are rumble strips at some important intersections around Edmonton I seem to recall. Not sure how they function in the winter.

they do it all the time. every juvenile defendant is unnamed to protect their identity.


also, why didnt the gov't add more safety measures to the intersection after the other fatal wreck there years ago that killed 6?

He's not a juvenile.

Cost analysis.

Speed bumps. Easy. Cheap. Effective. In all seasons. Try taking a speed bump at 100K+ That would get your attention and make you slow down for sure.

 

[Sniper99]

Think you should read again

"They can punish him without revealing his name cant they ?!..."

"So you would have the justice system secretly arrest people and hide it from the public"


I dont know where you get off thinking that poster wants the justice system to "secretly" arrest people and to hide it from the public. Not once did he say what youre comprehending. Maybe stay out of the sun today.​

I'm not sure how they work with snowplows. Rumble strips seem more cost effective but there has to be a reason why we don't see them more often too.

 

[Cloned]

So 16 counts that carry a max of 14 years per count
So 13 counts that carry a max of 10 years per count.

Nice

The Canadian justice system is relatively lenient. I don't think you'll see him get a max sentence consecutively, especially if he shows remorse and is/was cooperative.

The CAN punish PERSON without revealing PERSON NAME.

Lol what fantasy world do you live in

Oh I expect him to get less than 1 year in jail to be honest

 

[Skolman]

Do they really have to reveal the name of the charged?

Why not?

 

[IceBjoern]

I said it before, I’ll say it again: seatbelts!! Mandatory on long distance buses... or at least the choice.

Saved many lives in Sweden.

The poster wasn't sure if you could or not and thats why he was asking a SIMPLE question, that you were struggling to understand. do the math.

They do

Part of it is the noise they make. If there are houses nearby residents may not want to deal with the excess noise.

I'd imagine another reason you don't see them everywhere is the more common something is the more likely it is to be ignored.

 

[oldunclehue]

If yuh are an adult and charged with a criminal offence the name is always available to public knowledge....just the way it is.

Obviously they found some form of fault in his behalf. If your son/daughter was involved in a tragic death like this I guarantee you would want answer to the question of why it happened, the Police and courts will answer that. As well as seeing the person who caused the death have some justice rather than walk the streets without punishment.

I think this is a question better left up to the individual. I'm sure some people would not prefer to see another persons life ruined over what is in the end a tragic mistake. In a case where there was no malicous intent I don't see any benefit to a long prison sentence myself.

I understand your line of thought but gross carelessness has to be punishable for accountability. The drunk driver never meant to hurt anyone, the guy speeding through a neighborhood never meant to hit that kid on a bike, the lifeguard never meant for anyone to drown while he was texting on his phone, etc. With certain privileges come certain responsibilities.

I mean no one is saying he shouldn't be held accountable simply that harsh sentences for what are basically (tragic) mistakes are not helpful.

Pretty much. He has to live with that as it is..

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

According to the Canadian law, a dangerous operation of a motor vehicle sentence is 6 months in jail; he's facing 16 of those. I would imagine the other 13 would be the same as that sentence as it is a fairly similar sentence (Dangerous Operation of a Motor Vehicle). He could be facing somewhere around fifteen-twenty years in jail.

 

[Stand Witness]

If I see one more major organization try to pay tribute to the Broncos at this point i'll puke. It is definitely putting a negative spin on the story imo.

It was embarrassing that TSN mentioned them again on FA Frenzy day. Let the families grieve now please, instead we are getting constant reminders about how 'sorry' people still feel.

I might be coming across harsh here but it sounds like using Humboldt has become a money grab at this point.

Also I would be fine with the drivers name not being released. It doesn't provide anything other than a target for someone who will already be paying the price.

In Canada it is very rare for sentences to be served consecutively. (one after another)

if he gets found guilty there is no doubt he would serve all time for each charge concurrently. (at the same time)

 

[NorwegianDevil]

So you would have the justice system secretly arrest people and hide it from the public

I would, it works like that in Norway.. but I guess " murica " is different..
