U.S.- 75 closed down. 
Rescue workers hampered by language barrier.


Stupidity Should Always be Painful

 

the only thing that helps me maintain my slender grip on reality is the friendship I share with my collection of singing potatoes.

You don't have to be able to understand someone to pull them from a bus, but it's considerably more helpful for the EMS when treating you if they can understand what you are complaining about hurting. Broken bones don't usually show up just by looking at them.

The Rescue workers were hampered by the fact that most of the victims were Vietnamese. The police had to call in translators which took quite some time to acquire. Very sad story.

    Wow, bad month for buses. First the beheading in Canada, and now this. I'm glad I decided to drive to Montreal...

    (BTW, it's "U.S. 75." "I-75" doesn't go through Texas.)

    ISF
