Acantha Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 My generation... I'm all about not feeling sorry for people who get what they deserve, but do feel bad for this kid. Yeah, he was screwing around, but he wasn't doing something hundreds or thousands of people haven't done before. Usually it would be a limo or just a sunroof, but even with the obvious height, I doubt I would have considered bridges if I was thinking about sticking my head through that hatch. Just a kid having a good time and paying the ultimate price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Why would a double decker bus have a roof hatch accessible to the inhabitants. Couldn't they just make it inaccessible? Seems like a design flaw. That being said, I'm sure the kid had no idea that his face could get demolished by sticking it where he did but isnt that what the chaperone is there for?

Just a guess, but possibly for emergency exit? Like if the bus tips over? Chaperon said he told them to keep them closed, but obviously they didn't, though I'm guessing there will be a nice law suit since there was one chaperon for two levels. I don't blame that though, just a kid doing something he shouldn't have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bet it will in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-9 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Some of the comments below the article are appalling. The lack of sympathy in some of them is unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob's House Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Some of the comments below the article are appalling. The lack of sympathy in some of them is unbelievable. The lack of humanity in others has always disturbed me. I once was researching a street gang and to make a long story short, I ended up on a website that's devoted primarily to posting video of people being severely beaten, killed, and/or tortured. I didn't watch the videos, but reading the comments I realized that a lot of people frequent that site daily to get off watching people suffer unspeakable agony. And half of them think it's funny. There's a lot of twisted people out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Wow, we have all done stupid things as teenagers. Just that we didn't pay for it with our lives. We didn't...which is why we can say that. I knew a couple that did, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 We didn't...which is why we can say that. I knew a couple that did, though. Just told this story the other day...A kid I went to school with was riding with a friend in Michigan on a country road. They were doing about 45 and doing some swerving just to goof around. Well, they swerved too wide on one of them, hit a mailbox and the post decapitated my friend in the passenger seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
