Just got a wake-up call that life is short

[Belgian1979vette]

This morning I received a call from my mother that probably my sister in law was in a bus crash in Switserland.

She was on a school trip to Switserland with kids to learn skiing.

On their way back the bus hit a wall in the tunnel. 28 dead, among which 22 children. In the mean time it was confirmed that she was one of the dead.

She will be leaving 2 kids age 6 and 9 and her husband behind, who is on the way to Switserland for identification.

heard of it on the news here.....

Oh no man, I'm so sorry to hear that. The bus accident was all over the news. Very very tragic My condolences

I looked at the pics and it was horrible, but what I don't understand is why the wall to that emergecy shelter was not a smooth transition so any vehicle running that lane on the far right would get shoved over to the left instead of careening into a wall head on.

I dunno man, should see some of the messed up roads/highways they built/building here in Jax Florida, talk about lack of thought/planning....:hissyfit:

My sincere condoleances to you and your family my friend.

We burried my little cousin last week end, she was 50.
too early to leave.

That reinforce my little moto

I'm so sorry, Yves.

No, don't put off things that are important, and never pass up a chance to say "I love you" to those you love.

I just saw the pictures on the news. Looks like the bus hit head on.

Very tragic. My sincere condolences.

Just saw the pics, I agree.
That green part of the wall is dangerous.

BUT, seems that no journalist thinks so, first thing they said , the bus was traveling faster that the speed limit.

Maybe it didnt help but that wall is dangerous.

Sorry to hear this, my condolences to the family.

I got my wake up call last year when I lost 2 close buds. 1 2 days after his 52nd Bday and the 2nd 2 days before his 52nd Bday.
The 1st was 3 months older than me and the 2nd was 10 days younger
