Bus and Train Collision

Image: Relatives of the crash victims reactA bus was attempting to cross a railroad track in Ukraine at 9 am in the morning. The bus driver did not give any attention to the sirens that were going of indicating that there was a train coming across the tracks. The train collided with the bus killing 41 of the 49 passengers not including the driver. Ukraine has said that number is most likely to rise because the people who did survive were in very poor condition.

I think that this whole accident is pure stupidity. It is almost one hundred percent the bus drivers fault for this accident. If what is said true about the sirens going off and the bus not yielding to them, then who other than the drivers fault could this be? The families of the people that died now are suffering from a loss to a person they loved because of one person carelessness. I feel that things like this could be prevented in other countries just by having better trained people.
