So basically the accident wiped out all the teachers and staff. Some students must have high-fived each other with that outcome. |

Let's flip this guy over.... is he dead on this side, too? Looks like that vehicle very nearly continued its slinky-ing down the mountainside, THIS rail happened to stop it. We can presume it was end-over-ending or such otw down, there are probably a couple of bodies still up the hillside a bit that were thrown clear before things stopped here. |

Good find !! Unfortunately the camera operator was obviously an FNG !!! He just couldn't seem to figure out what, who or how he was supposed to use the strange contraption that made strange noises and sometimes flashes pictures and lights ![]() |

THIS is why I avoid riding with teachers, on busses, where there are terrace roads. |
