My heart still breaks for the families of all the kids and team members on that bus. I also feel badly for the driver of the truck. He made an incredibly stupid mistake that killed 16 people. It wasn't intentional, he didn't wake up that morning and make plans cause a multi-fatality accident. But he's going to have to live with that for the rest of his life. I'm glad that he plead guilty.
It takes a brave and honest man to plead guilty. Any of us could’v cause an accident like this. How many of us would have plead guilty? I pray for everyone that is involved in this accident.
It's good the driver acknowledged his guilt. Nothing will bring them back. My heart goes out to all the victims. The dead, the survivors and their families and friends... And the rest of the nation. I, at least, still grieve. I think a lot of us still do.
I must say I have changed my opinion of the driver, he truly feels terrible & will for a long time. I hope he is able to cope with it all. Mr. Thomas sets a great example.
This guys a coward I would never forgive him
@@terancestevens5922that’s you
@@terancestevens5922 how is he a coward
So heartbreaking 💔💔 I can see the pain in his eyes.
There is no perfect sentence or no perfect remedy to this terrible tragedy
OMG: let’s all pray that we don’t get in an accident and cause injury!
Praying for family, friends n driver.
5 years on and people are still dying en masse with collisions with speeding trucks
Hopefully everybody judging the truck driver, has a perfect driving record without any tickets for not stopping at a sign or red light, or speeding or using a cell phone-all dangerous!
Don't be a moron. Whenever you drive a car and don't pay attention, anything can happen. Sure, it's very likely there won't be as many victims, but driving a big SUV or pick up truck can kill a family of four.
He sped past four different stop signs
Give me a brake there’s no excuses at this intersection not to stop
@@CasualApostate he sure the hell did
How many drunk drivers that cause death in Canada are deported back to their original countries? It does not matter if, white, brown, black, yellow or whatever shade in between.
He is absolutely shameful. He should be deported. You think only an 8 years sentence for murder is appropriate! There are people who get longer sentences for vehicle homicide. Shame on him and anyone else who just says, a slap on the wrist is enough.
Think twice before you run a stop sign.
This breaks my heart. It is not easy to forgive someone after they have taken your loved ones from you. I am moved by this gentleman's attitude towards life.
As a parent, I would have leaped across that bench and beat the S*it out of that criminal.
More sue The Trucking Compagny
Very True
PRAYERS N HUGS 4 ALL THE SURVIVORS N THE FAILIES WHO LOST THEIR LOVED 1S. RIP BRONCOS
I’m sorry sir!
As Indian, I’m sorry
I have been to India and I was appalled at what I saw. It is a cultural thing, as they simply do not observe the rules of the road. They do not observe lanes and swerve all over the place...There are many deadly accidents and this is just accepted as being normal... The population is so huge that one human life is apparently not worth very much to them. To turn a newly arrived immigrant from India loose on the Canadian highways before having undergone extensive Canadian based diver training and testing is INSANE.

I hope he rots in prison then hets deported
People need to get over it
How do you get over killing of 16 people if it was your family you wouldn’t say that ya ignorant prick
While my heart goes out to the families of all the young people killed in this totally avoidable tragedy, the call for "regulation" of the trucking industry is grief reaction combined with "safety culture" run amok.
There are already scores of new trucking regulations in place that are placing such a burden on truckers that many generational Canadians just cannot make a fair profit at it anymore and they are taking what they have earned and fleeing the trucking industry. Which then leaves the industry open to the (*PC trigger warning) vast array of SWAsian companies entering the industry in fly-by-night companies trying to pick up the slack by paying no attention to existing regulations.
That the guilty man had so many trucking regulation violations means that the regulations are in place. It's just that 1) there are so many that one cannot make a go at the industry unless 2) they are willing to break the regulations. And I'm not sure that more enforcement is the issue. That will mean a lot of expense in increased inspection that will also weigh on an already straining industry just to catch those of a small group that move to a country and have little respect for the existing laws, regulations and social contract that MOST generational Canadian truckers have willingly obeyed for years.
What is the answer? Well, either more totalitarian control over the masses, over just newcomers who may feel they have some "religious right" to circumvent our laws and respect for their adoptive country . . . or more severe penalties after-the-fact.
More regulations or even enforcement aimed at there never again being such an incident is fraught with all the same problems as trying to make sure that speeding or intoxicated driving takes no more lives.
The only way, is to justify increasingly totalitarian control over the masses. And we already know from the 20th Century that this ALWAYS turns out to be a far more deadly cure, than what it is aiming to cure.
@Name Here
Well, there is a balance-point when it comes to "doing unsafe work".
I was caught in freezing rain in Kansas just last week on a crowned 2-lane road with no shoulder. Nowhere to pull over, and stopping in the travel lane was far riskier than carrying on at a ludicrously slow speed looking for safe haven. (Back-country, so that came 90 minutes later.).
I faced another on the BC Coquihalla Highway (Highway of Death), where a blinding bizzard blew up and it was hard to distinguish between the white highway and the white nothingness of 800 ft drop-off to the right. Pulling over, not an option. Just coming to a dead stop, not an option.
Press on.
Life in jail. Life in jail
@Regina Filangi he did intentionally kill them when he ran that stop sign.
@Regina Filangi I’ve never accidentally ran a stop sign. Most people haven’t. It was his job to be a focused driver. He failed that and deserves his sentence then deportation.
@@brettstefanishin574 Most of the victims’ family members seem to have more sympathy for him than you do. This world isn’t so black and white. Context matters, and he made a tragic mistake that ruined a bunch of lives, including his own. He owned up to his mistake and has sentenced his own mind to a lifetime of guilt. It always seems as though those who lack sympathy are the loudest to scream for understanding when they’ve made a mistake of their own.
@@brettstefanishin574 You're wrong though. The stop sign was hidden, he couldn't see it
