But tw, UT, and Yesman065 were not there. A responsible and very first question that tw, UT, and Yesman065 should ask (if concerned for children on every school bus) is "why did this happen?" or "what kids are currently at risk and where?"

Still at risk are other school busses: every school bus that was not on that bridge last week and is still carrying kids over other bridges. These bridge failures are predictable. Another question still not answered: how predictable was this failure. Or was the problem identified? Question far more important than unharmed kids on one school bus.
NO The first question to be asked here was how can I get the children on THAT bus taken care of - period. The second one was every other human in that situation and a VERY DISTANT third, at best was how can we do something to protect the children everywhere else who are on school busses at 9:00 at night. Prevention is important, but in a crisis situation ACTIONS speak a lot louder than questions. Identifying the problem and rectifying or preventing it from happening again are not the logical course in an immediate crisis.

After the immediate situation is resolved is the time to look elsewhere for other POTENTIAL problems - dealing with the one that IS happening is paramount.


Aside - tw, I offered you an opportunity to settle our differences - you chose not to - thats fine. Therefore, please do not use me as an example or reference in any of your posts/rants. Whether you feel it is demeaning or derrogotory is irrelevant - everyone else sees it for what it really is. Thanks, have a nice day.
