List of bus accidents

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A bus accident is an accident in which at least one bus is involved.

Crimes and acts of terrorism such as the bus attack at Ballygawley in 1988 or the bus attack on the M62 are not included . Relatively many of these accidents are also railway accidents , for example because railway gates were opened too early.

For the sake of completeness, accidents involving (converted) road vehicles that were used to transport a large number of people are also listed. This concerns, for example, the accident in Chualar , California, in 1963 and the stretched limousine that crashed in New York state in October 2018.

Typically, these Braceros were transported between their work assignments with flatbed trucks that were covered with tarpaulin and had bench seats lengthways. 57 celery pickers were on board when the bus crossed the railroad tracks. Although the view of the railway line was clear of obstacles, the driver did not recognize the train; as a diabetic , his field of vision was restricted and his passenger obscured his view. Since many of the workers were only known by one number, the FBI had to be called in to identify the dead . So far, the worst bus accident in the USA.

It was rainy weather and two cars overtook the buses when the lane narrowed from three to two lanes. A brusque braking maneuver on the front bus resulted in a mass collision. The fuel tank of one bus was destroyed, the gasoline spilled onto the street and ignited. While many people were able to escape from the bus in front, the doors of the second bus were blocked by cars involved in an accident. As a result of the accident, a maximum speed of 110 km / h still applies on French motorways in rainy weather, and the structural regulations for buses have also been improved (safety glass, non-combustible materials).

A coach with Swedish schoolchildren was on its way to Bergen in order to travel from there to the Shetland Islands . Måbødalen is a valley with a winding, steep road (8% gradient over 4 km). The bus (Volvo B58) only had brakes on two of the four wheels, which overheated and failed as a result. An auxiliary brake, the so-called retarder, also failed . The driver tried to shift into a lower gear, but failed; the drive axle was now idling. In a tunnel, the bus collided with a concrete arch at a speed of between 64 and 100 km / h. Since there is a 20 to 30 m high cliff after the tunnel, speculation arose that the driver had deliberately driven into the tunnel wall in order to brake the vehicle.

When reeving, the right front tire bursts. The bus comes off the road to the right and hits a tree head-on, which bores its length through half of the passenger cell. 32 people die, 45 are injured. In addition to exceeding the number of journeys, excessive speed (60 instead of the permitted 50 km / h on the route section) and a poor general condition of the 11-year-old bus were identified as the causes of the accident.
September 20, 1994 Trudering Burglary of a tunnel due to planning errors (likely) 3 36 Trudering bus accident . During work on underground line 2, water seeped into the tunnel.
