nadaanan ko ito kanina on the way to sucat. Sobrang traffic and ang daming usisero so nakiusi na rin ako. May nakita pa akong kamay nakalawit sa bintana. I presume he/she is dead at that time.

According to reports, one has died while two passengers were in critical condition.

Bus driver blames the wind (ipu-ipo). Siguro combination ng wind, plus skidding sa madulas na skyway. Kumusta kaya ang visibility? Ingat guys.

update po: dalawa na ang patay, tapos yung apat na iba pa nakalabas na ng ospital. Yung mga pasahero puro minor injuries lang yung natamo. Buti kamo walo lang (6 passengers + konduktor + driver) ang sakay nun.

"Bus driver blames the wind (ipu-ipo)"
 
correction lang sir
   yung Bus conductor po ang may sabi nun, hindi po yung driver kasi patay na sya.

[khaliwally]

kung marami siguro sakay, baka hindi nangyari... kasi added weight yung mga passengers...

Wind gusts abroad...

Blustery winds helped create dangerous driving conditions on highways south of Calgary on Saturday.
RCMP advised people to stay off Highway 2 between Claresholm and Fort Macleod because of the powerful winds.
One man was driving the stretch between Highway 3 and Highway 520. He said the gusts were so strong it felt like he was on a bucking horse.
The winds helped muscle nearly a dozen semis into the ditch. Many motorists were diverted by emergency personnel driving on Highway 2 for safety reasons.
The potent winds also helped to knock down trees and power for about two hours to some areas.
Dayna Vettese, a meteorologist here at The Weather Network says it all has to do with the chinook winds.
“Strong chinook winds descending from the Rockies helped create warm conditions across southern Alberta.”
Wind warnings were in place for several Alberta and Saskatchewan communities throughout the weekend.
On Saturday, peak wind gusts measured 154 km/h while Pincher Creek recorded 115 km/h gusts. Sunday's winds were even stronger in some areas. Nakiska Ridgetop recorded a 161 km/h gust.
The weekend was also feeling spring-like as temperatures rose to a high of 8°C in places like Calgary and 5°C in Edmonton at one point.
There is a down side to the warm weather. Residents are now worried about possible flooding as the warm westerly wind quickly melts all the snow.
Temperatures will continue to hover above the freezing mark through Monday as the mild trend continues.

para sakin, tingin ko matuliin lang talaga ang takbo ng sasakyan. ciempre sasabihin ng konduktor pati ng mayari na gawa kalikasan un para abswelto sila sa kaso. ganun lang un kasimple. magviaje ka lang ng edsa, malalaman ko kung papano ka-reckless ang mga driver at ang tutulin pa magmaneho lalo na kapag alam nila na wala masyado viaje, madalas pa beating the red light. tsk tsk.

nakita ko sa pic na may naipit din pala na 18 wheeler. ano kaya nangyari dun.

rest in peace na lang sa mga nawala.

3 dead as bus falls from Skyway

 MANILA, Philippines - A bus driver and two passengers died after a passenger bus fell from the Skyway along the South Luzon Expressway (SLEx) this morning.

A report by radio dzMM said a bus unit of Dimple Star Transport with body number 7511 had just entered the Skyway when it suddenly went wayward and fell.

The incident happened past 11 a.m. today.

Ed Nepomuceno, an official in-charge of the Skyway operations, said during the radio interview that at least seven people, including the driver and conductor, were inside the bus when the incident happened.

The driver was declared dead around 1 p.m. at the Parañaque Medical Center. Two more passengers, who were earlier reportedly in critical condition, were declared dead hours later.

Four more people, including the bus' conductor, sustained wounds in the accident.

A report by ABS-CBN News Channel said that based on the account of the conductor, the bus was struck by a very strong wind before they fell off the Skyway.

The accident caused heavy traffic along SLEx as rescuers and Skyway personnel remove the bus.

Meanwhile, the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board has suspended the franchise of the bus company, pending investigations on the incident. -- Angelo L. Gutierrez
