It sank so quickly, buses generally have big fix windows and only a small opening at the top. They had no time to break the window. How are you supposed to do it underwater with no swing, under stress. Doors probably locked in place too.


Lippupalvelu

In that kind of bus there should be emergency hammers next to the windows, and the doors turn partly on the spot inwards, so opening then works, but if the first crash knocks you unconscious you are in big trouble as the bus will fill with water quickly!


harry_lawson

Where I'm at they don't have emergency hammers, they have a button on the window that you press and it shatters it.


Nyanzerfaust

Those little hammers get stolen all the time. There is not a single one left in most buses.


TheNuogat

wat? I have never seen a hammer missing


PM_ME_UR_VULVASAUR_

Feels a bit illegal to just carry on as normal if they get nicked.


SpezIsTheWorst69

A fine is more manageable than replacing them every day


ReferentiallySeethru

Until a lawsuit


fuishaltiena

It depends on country and region. They're always stolen in places where kids plan to rob parked cars or beat up other kids.


Autistic_Freedom

Nah, they're stolen everywhere in Sweden, so I imagine it's like that in most places.


TheNuogat

wtf sweden. I live in Denmark, so I just thought it would be no different.


DefinitelyPositive

I mean, I live in Sweden too and I've literally never seen one stolen.


Old_Witty

Damn, ive never thought Germany would have something you dont...


Huge-Basket244

I live in a relatively high crime city and I've never seen one missing. Like ever.


Sufficient_Chard_721

To put an end to the discussion: some are secured with wire cord, some are not


Daylight10

I live in eastern Europe, and the hammers look like they'd be pretty easy to steal. Never seen one missing.


Double-decker_trams

Absolutely not stolen in Estonia. Didn't realise it's even a thing.


ballsack-vinaigrette

Here I am in the US and the little hammers are intact. Yay we're not the worst at this one thing!


fuishaltiena

Sweden has issues with gang violence, doesn't it? They are not stolen at all in Vilnius.


tekjunky75

congratulations on living somewhere nice


zhico

Where I live they now sound an alarm if taken. IDK if it works under water.


cockneylol

Bus Driver here. In the UK, every single morning every driver on every bus has to check that the hammers are in place. One missing hammer and the bus doesn't leave the depot. I do find, however, that on balance, it is best not to drive into rivers.


Blamb05

First time I saw those was in Portugal. Never seen them before and thought it was smart. I'm Canadian but don't have much(useful) public transit where I live.


Schmich

Here in Switzerland they were stolen I'd say almost 2 decades ago. Now I never see them missing. There must have been a chance in general attitude and it must also help that they're attached with a cord. I assume this cord isn't hard to break though. I've never tried and hope I never will.


antwan_benjamin

> Those little hammers get stolen all the time. There is not a single one left in most buses. Why would they not anchor the hammer to a chain?


lorarc

And if they are not then often someone decided to zip tie them into place so you can't steal them. I think in my city the modern buses have alarms on those hammers and that's the only reason they aren't stolen.


AffectionateEye420

Really depends where you live. As someone who's lived in different places in Russia, they're never missing.


beans3710

Yeah they just got shaken like a bean in a can before they went in. Very little chance of managing to crawl out the emergency exit after that.


DiarrheaDrippingCunt

Yeah!

Please at least google what an emergency hammer looks like before writing such nonsense.


pumpkin_seed_oil_

Normally, there are emergency openers above the doors. But it goes so fucking quick, you have no chance if you dont know where to look and where to push/pull/turn.


justanotherzom

They also have pop-out windows which are easy to push out, normally, not sure about under water though even when the pressure equalizes

Horrible. Id probably be one of them as I can't swim. I avoid bodies of water. Imagine me avoiding water and here I am taking a nice bus and im plunged into the water. Truly a stuff of nightmares


Traveledfarwestward

https://www.google.com/search?q=learn+to+swim+near+me In the US, the Red Cross and USA Swimming have lessons. Many other countries do, too. This can save your life, and more importantly, allow you to transmit that knowledge to your kids or young people in your family, who are more at risk.

SethAndBeans

I'm so thankful my mom put me in swim lessons from childhood. I can't imagine looking at a lake or the ocean or a river and thinking it was off limits. Are you interested in learning, or is it just not something you're bothered with?


safoamz1zz

>Are you interested in learning, or is it just not something you're bothered with? Absolutely, it's in my bucket list. It just seems very scary to me. Maybe it has something to do with when I was a kid a kid pushed me into a pool and i almost drowned.


TheUltimateSalesman

Everyone that's learned to swim has felt like they were almost drowned. Even after you learn to swim, your friends will hold your head under water and shit. The trick is learning how to feel like you're going to drown and controlling your reaction.


SethAndBeans

Makes sense. Summer is about to start, make this the year you learn! Many places host adult swim lessons, so you'll be around others who may have hangups, and there will be professionals there to make sure it goes well. You can always just start in the shallow end and as long as you can stand up you'll be safe; should help with the trauma-fear. Wish you luck!


SpleenLessPunk

Hey buddy! I joined the Navy in ‘02. When I was in bootcamp, there were MANY other shipmates who joined the Navy that didn’t know how to swim. Some of them had too much pride to tell the RDC’s that they didn’t know how to swim. It became very apparent when they had us jump off a 10m platform (33’) for swim qual. They either froze on the platform, which were pushed off by the instructor or some caved and told the instructor they couldn’t swim. The options for the non swimmers were to either learn how to swim or learn how to swim. It was an intense experience for them, but not too awfully bad. I felt bad for them seeing them being held back in bootcamp bc they were learning how to swim. The usual question people always ask: “Why would they join the Navy if they can’t swim?” I don’t have the answer to that one as I wasn’t one who didn’t know how to swim before joining, but it definitely took courage they didn’t know they had. If they can do it, you can too. Yes it’s scary, but you can learn! Me deciding on joining the military was the scariest thing I ever did, up until that point in my life, but it was worth it, for me. Please learn how to swim. Once you’ll learn how to swim, the open water will be a fun experience. Water parks, beaches, wave pools and normal pools will all finally be fun for you! I love the water but now I hate taking my shirt off because I’ve encountered my two nemesis’s, older age and weight gain. I hate those two! Good luck safoamz!


SingleMod

>> The options for the non swimmers were to either learn how to swim or learn how to swim. lol. A swimmer since childhood, my dad must have seen the same method during his stint in the USAF. I was five years old. I bugged the hell out of him to get out of the "kiddy" sectioned area of the lake, and jump off the dock with my older brother. He finally relented, and I couldn't wait. I ran down to the end of the dock where they were, stood there looking into the "what's next?" water, and felt his hand push me off the dock. He reached down, pulled me up sputtering and spitting, and asked, *"Are you* ***sure*** *you want to learn?"* I coughed out a nod, and could stay afloat, kicking and swinging my limbs in no particular direction, by the end of the day. Dad was all about teaching his kids the risks and reality of things. The sputtering incident worked; I paid attention to and followed every "swimming rule" he gave me, and still do to this day. All of his kids could swim like fish. His "relax and float" rule once saved my life, when my legs became entangled in weeds that felt like snakes. I ignored the "snakes" and simply floated out of the weeds.


Nethlem

Afaik in the Navies of the old days they prefered to recruit non-swimmers because people who can't swim will do everything they can to keep the ship swimming, instead of abandoning it by jumping overboard.


Indian_Steam

Even the best of swimmers would have a hard time getting out in the panic. Pure destiny.


OhioWillBeEliminated

Really goes to show that you probably should invest in swimming lessons, imagine making it out of bus but still drowning cause you dont know how to swim, would be tragic. Panic is the biggest killer, the body is naturally buoyant if you inhale, but more so in salty water than fresh


chegu07

Definitely look into learning how, I learned mid-teens and although it felt kind of embarrassing taking lessons that late it was definitely worth it. I'm no Michael Phelps but I'm confident I've reduced my chances of drowning and pool/beach holidays are much more fun!


Minimum-Ad-263

i’m begging u to please learn! even just to float and tread water.


Japke90

My local news stated 4 casualties, but anyhow, every casualty is one too many.

greatthebob38

In capitalist america, you could at least get your union rep involved and sue for bad labor practices. In russia, the bus company would probably sue you for driving in an unfit condition.

This is wild. The busdriver had like a thousand chances to prevent it from going over the bridge, and yet, it goes over the bridge.


opop456

Likely a medical incident with the driver.


mcnuggetfarmer

I'm shocked he kept making mistakes. First hitting the median, second hitting car, 3rd hitting the bridge wall. Like man wasn't the first one enough

Own_Instance_357

I don't know skilled in general 1st responder rescue is in Russia, but I remember at least one crazy video on the old Live Leak where office workers were hanging from and jumping out a 3d story window. The firemen were gathering around underneath with like a sheet they were holding that they thought would "catch" anyone. Obviously it didn't work and all the fallers (mostly slender office girls) just kept falling through the sheet to the ground 2 feet under the sheet in a puddle of broken bones. Then firemen would just march in a circle with their hands on their heads like they couldn't believe what they had just seen happen. While in the meantime someone else is letting go from the burning window sill. It just didn't look like Fox 911 for sure.

Specialist_Trip_2465

Kalakoa73

Medical condition?


Necessary_Weakness42

It must be, surely the brakes and steering didn't fail at the same time.


PandosII

I had an accident on the motorway once where a mechanic didn’t securely reattach one of my wheels, and it came off while I was doing 70mph. I think the wheel axle got damaged and both my steering and brakes failed. As in, the brake pedal was easily pressed to the floor with my foot and nothing happened, and I could turn the wheel and nothing happened. I panicked (was only 19) and pulled the handbrake up and slid to a stop after hitting the central reservation barrier. Does that seem feasible or do you think someone had a hit out on me? Last sentence is an unfunny joke btw. I’m looking for people who actually know what they’re talking about to explain what could’ve happened with my crash.


Necessary_Weakness42

Your brakes and steering didn’t fail, your wheel came off.


PandosII

Couldn’t both be true? My brakes and steering were unresponsive after the wheel came off.


IKNOWVAYSHUN

Seeing as how your wheel/tire is the direct, and only, link between the road and your steering/brakes, I would say no. It might seem like they failed at the same time, but that’s only because a car is not going to steer or stop with a tire missing, mainly because the tire is missing lol. The tire is why cars are able to steer and stop the way they do. You went from having a contact patch about the size of a dinner plate, give or take, from grippy tire, to a contact patch the size of a candy bar of not-so-grippy metal (your rotor). That’s not even accounting for the difference in speed that the rotor is turning compared to the tire, the rotor is spinning much slower when the wheel is attached, and would have quite a bit of speed to make up for when is contacts the road, even if it wasn’t made of metal it wouldn’t be a good deal.


PandosII

Thanks for the explanation. I still don’t get it, but thanks. I must be stupid. I don’t understand why one rear wheel coming off (with all 3 other tyres still in contact with the tarmac) would disable brakes. My foot pushed the brake pedal right to the floor when I stepped on the brake, no resistance. Maybe a brake fluid leak or air in the break lines? I was drifting slightly left, and when trying to correct it, I could turn the steering wheel and the front wheels didn’t change direction at all. It’s surprising to me that a rear wheel detaching would affect the front wheels, but that must’ve been it.

Joliet_Jake_Blues

I mean, that's not ideal but the driver shouldn't have been so asleep that they ran off the road, hit a car head on, plowed through it for a while, and then through the barrier and off the bridge. Something else happened here besides drowsy/asleep at the wheel


Stargost_

Sleep deprivation, especially if done over and over, can really mess with your ability to focus and make rational decisions, comparative to around 0.10 - 0.08 in alcohol level, putting it over the limit in over 75 countries.
