At Least 27 Killed when Brakes from a Tourist Bus Apparently Malfunctioned
A packed tourist bus returning from an outing collided with a motorbike and plunged from a hill on Indonesia's main island of Java after its brakes apparently malfunctioned, killing at least 27 people, police said Sunday. At least 18 others were hospitalized with injuries, some in critical condition, following the crash Saturday on a winding slope in West Java province, said local police. Footage showed police, soldiers and medical personnel evacuating the victims from the bus, which was carrying more than 40 local tourists. The bus was headed for Tangerang, a satellite city just south of the capital, Jakarta, from West Java's Tangkuban Perahu, a popular mountainous resort. Joni said police were still investigating the cause of the accident, but a preliminary investigation showed the brakes malfunctioned while the bus was going up the hill and rolled down, hitting a motorbike before falling into a grass field. Most of the victims died instantly, Joni said. Police were questioning the bus driver, who suffered light injuries. |

When the first little girls cries “mi dong dong hung” I just have to turn the sound down. Tragic.

The old “the brakes failed” excuse that is stock vocabulary in every third world crash. How about “I was driving like a twat to earn more money and lost control of my badly maintained heap of shit” |

Aftermath is ravenous carnage. Girls at the start are driving as if they want to star in their very own death video That being said, all in all the camera people here fucking suck; nobody knows how the wheels on the bus ended up that way; and our bus driver here is one lucky fuck, or purposely did everything he could to stay alive |
