Sherman Bus Crash - The families need answers

This pictures shows what happens when the local, state, and federal authorities think "de-regulation" of business is more important than protecting the lives and well-being of its citizens.

The image “http://www.necn.com/files/2008/08/09/vlcsnap-3010257.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

A few days ago, funerals were held for many of the 17 church members killed when their bus crashed in Sherman earlier this month.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and communities affected by the tragedy.

As the time for healing continues, to honor those who lost their lives or were severely injured, we must look for answers.  For example, reports indicate many problems with this bus company and bus driver.

Where were the authorities and regulators?  Why didn't they catch these problems beforehand?

Likewise, why didn't the bus manufacturer equip this bus with seatbelts or safety glass, when both are economically and technically feasible, indeed very easy to install?

Some people may say that the families and community should put this incident behind them.  That is wrong and dishonors the memories of those who died.

It would simply compound the tragedy, and dishonor the memory of those who perished in this horrible crash, if the authorities and competent investigators and attorneys did not fully and expeditiously investigate the causes of the crash and whether such tragedies could be prevented or minimized in the future.

Expect to read more about the errors, omission, and outright negligence of various parties and companies involved in this crash.  Our firm intends to assist in this investigation.
