Polish bus crash in Croatia. Is there a fate?

I know, but it certainly wasn't Easy, if his fuel tanks exploded, he would be a Ghost.

Another example of a life in which fate played a decisive role is the life of Tomasz Komenda. 18 years in prison for a murder he didn't commit, a long fight for compensation and as soon as he got it, lung cancer killed him in a terrible way. Lung cancer first suffocates you for months before it kills you. To top it all off, his relationship with the woman broke down before he went to prison. A typical example of some fate hanging over someone.

A German long distance coach crashed in Germany because two drivers argued. A Polish woman was one of 4 fatal casualties.

It's good that only 4, first they talked for a long time about 5 fatalities.

Another bus accident in Germany, 21 injured, and at the same time a bus accident in South Africa with 45 dead. What's happening?

Sad accidents.

I was just reading about the people who died in South Africa.

Unfortunately, although driving a bus is a hugely responsible job with people's lives in the driver's hands, the wages they receive rarely reflect that and it's hard to get people to do it for the money.

In the world of work, you get what you pay for.

Bus drivers sometimes hide their illnesses so as not to lose their license to drive.

And again a bus accident in Germany, 27 injured children and the driver. Trip to England. It's some black series in Germany.

Nothing about it in the Polish media. Strange.

Indeed not. See e.g. FAZ NET busunfall. Sonntag 21/04/24

The verdict was passed: a Polish woman who caused a fatal car accident in Germany, killing two children, was sentenced to life imprisonment. Is the verdict fair? I would like to remind you that in the first instance she received 'only' 6 years.

These awful tragedies happen. There was a similar case where a tractor driver in the U.K. was jailed for a long time due to causing a crash because he was using a mobile while driving (in Britain if you're in a crash and were using your mobile - they always check - you'll be locked up even if the accident wasn't solely your fault) and there's been an arrest this week of a guy in a fancy BMW who caused a crash on a main road I know very very well where 6 people (a couple and a family of 4) were killed.

A life sentence seems harsh however it's not possible to decide without knowing the facts of the case.

She was driving, racing against another car at 180kmh where the speed limit was 70kmh. She caused an accident with another car in which 2 children died.

It's a terrible case and so sad to read about. No updates yet but I'm guessing dangerous driving.


In the UK a life sentence wouldn't be given. I'm undecided about that one. It could be argued that she wasn't intentionally trying to kill anyone despite the fact that it was highly likely that an accident would occur. If it had been my child killed I would want a life sentence.

Huge disparity between the two sentences though.

Its not fair. Its monstrous.

I fu*k EU.

I hate the EU too, but it had nothing to do with this accident.Lay off the Rakija Crow.......

life imprisonment for that? No way. EU is sick. In Serbia she would spend max 3 years in prison and then also several years to dedicate in some volunteering work, beside her regular job, for children/society. And of course she would permanently lose driving license.

In Serbia she would have problems but she wouldn`t be lost for society and her family.

Yes, the father of the killed children would probably have shot her.
