    Dont really want to speculate, But it sounds like the driver either had an heart attack, Or nodded off, Big differance between this and the last one is the bus stopped dead against a wall, Just like Dianna in that tunnel, Internal organs just rupture, Cant understand it the swiss are very good at safety, If you look in that tunnel there is no barrier to guide you away from the wall, I have said this before, If you think your going to run into the back of something, Head for the gap, Take your chances that way, Easy to say i know, But you stop dead at speed, Game over,
    Them poor parents waiting to know if their kids have made it or not,
    Another thing, No seat belts i bet,

    You have to feel for the parents. It's always worse when it's kids involved.

    It has been said the driver may have been sorting a CD, how do they come to a decision like that so soon. Why would an experienced driver change a CD why going through a tunnel, sounds like a very Crimson Herring and in my mind wrong to say anything until they have hard and fast facts.

    Got to blame somebody, And he is dead, Drivers should not be able to reach things like that from the driving seat, Take temptation away from them, There is a thing called distronic in posh cars, Brakes for you if your going to run into something, How much was that coach £200k, But we can blah blah till the cows come home, We wasnt there,
    I wonder if it had cctv, buses in leeds have them front and back, Then they have an ideal witness for accidents,

    My car has that Reg, If I drive up behind a car at 70 and it is only doing 60 it brakes then. If you go to pull out and a car is in your blind spot, steering goes heavy and mirror flashes.
