Every report I've heard blames this on brake failure. Wait ... the service brakes failed AND the parking brake ... i.e.: spring brakes ... failed too? I find that hard to believe, unless she came down a big hill and there was brake fade. Maybe she didn't pull  the button out.


I am patient with stupidity, but not with those who are proud of it.

She said she "Hit the Brakes and the Bus Accelerated"! Sounds to me more like she hit the Gas Pedal !

This is what happens when you drive with 2 feet.  ;D  ;D  ;D

But even the cops said it was brake failure. I don't buy it.
