Tattered Bus Remains – A shocking Sight
The images obtained from the unfortunate spot are shocking simultaneously invites wrath and sympathy of public. Washing away the entire right side of the school bus leaving behind absolutely nothing but charred remains of metal pieces clearly shows the intensity of the mishap. Spilled potatoes from sacks from almost overturned and tilted truck-trailer gives us goosebumps for the visual evidence that the accident site provides. Completely cracked windows and front of the bus is nowhere to be seen is furthermore dreadful.
Mangled remains of the bus and rising cases of road accidents in our country is an appalling incident that needs immediate attention. Such intensities of accidents engulfing so many young lives and future population of the country is a cause of worry which the authorities must look into at priority. All we pray and hope is now the departed souls rest in peace and God provides strength to the grieving families to bear the grief of their loss. Amen !!
