We as a Nation must analyze our character time and again. We take everything for granted and put every senario as fate or God's will.

This clearly is a plainland driver's inexperience to drive in mountainous winding roads. Besides, even overloading beyond the structural capabilities of the bus is never considered important in such sudden trips and also without due considerations to the other requirements. In addition to that, why there were 40 passengers in a coaster which has only 26 seats?

We don't have a transport system that is managed or regulated well. If we had a road safety authority or a good department of transport all the road, rail and airplane accidents would have been investigated and the culprits held accountable as well as recommendations implemented.
That doesn't happen so this is happening.

The passengers must watch the driver throughout their journy and stop him from overspending or talking over mobile phone...
