Glass windows on a bus explode upon impact with another bus during morning rush hour

Glass windows on a bus explode upon impact with another bus during morning rush hour

Luckily, no passengers suffered serious injuries during this accident.

Earlier this morning, an GoAhead bus driver and his passengers found themselves in an unfortunate predicament during the morning rush hour.

The video starts with a cam car turning into a junction near Loyang Ave towards Tampines Ave 7.

The driver notices a green GoAhead bus travelling straight through the junction as the car slowly inches forward.

He then stops in the yellow box as he lets the bus pass through the junction.

Out of the blue, another bus appears from the right of the cam car and abruptly turns into the junction.

The sudden movement causes the second bus to hit the back of the first bus, which results in the exploding of the windows on the first bus.

Passengers situated near the windows appear to be in shock as the first bus comes to a complete stop.

Pictures of the damage from the accident are posted online as well.

What exactly happened?

According to an online post, it appears that the driver of the second bus had misjudged the proximity of the other bus in the junction.

This explains why he thought it would be possible for his bus to squeeze into the junction.

I can't imagine what it must have felt like for the window beside you to suddenly shatter into a thousand pieces. It must have been traumatising! 😭

We do hope that everyone on both buses are alright! 😥 Any updates on this accident will be posted on this article.

Must be a slow morning for generating content..

It doesn't explode... it's an accident with a collision of large heavy vehicles, stuff happens and glass cracks...

Bus drivers really need to be more careful.

Red don't like green?

:D

That junction is always very busy. Vehicles are always caught in the yellow box.

Here the green bus was moving. So the driver misjudged the clearance, or, he had swerved a little while passing the red bus.

my first thought is can glass window explode ?

then why is the green bus squeezing through lane 1 

recently, actually it's been quite a while, lots of heavy vehicles drivers drive as though they are F1 drivers.

if this situation is not arrested more serious accidents will happen.

  • A sole-ful tribute

    Car enthusiasts are an emotional bunch. So, I naturally develop feelings for things on wheels, be it four wheels or two. However, I was surprised to discover that I had become attached to my old pair of sneakers, whose soles are so worn that it hurts to wear them.  That is the unequivocal signal to retire them. But I must say "Thank you" before bidding them goodbye. The laceless design is convenient, saving time when you need to rush off in the morning Through thick and

    Cleaning is relaxing?

    Every once in awhile, I find myself watching 20-minute long videos on Youtube on something that most people will probably find quite bizarre: Carpet cleaning videos.  (This video has 5.4m views!!!!) It's... a particular kind of Youtube rabbit hole. I concede that.  However, I must say that I find such videos strangely relaxing and soothing. Beyond the ASMR component of it, I do find something quite nice about the specificity and particularity of such videos, and in some

    ERP 2.0: Possible positions for your processing unit

    Your OBU's processing unit isn't always mounted on the passenger footwell. Depending on the car that you drive, more than one option may be available! Since November 2023, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) has been gradually replacing in-vehicle units (IUs) with the new on-board units (OBU). The OBU will pave the way for smoother traffic as we transition to the new ERP 2.0 system that is based on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology.  The OBU comprises three parts: An

    Titan's Fall: Back to Square One

    Manchester United have once again signalled a restart with the sacking of Ten Hag, and just days later, announced the appointment of Ruben Amorim, who will join midway through the first half of the current season from Sporting Lisbon. Back to square one yet again for the Red Devils who, despite being one of the most successful clubs in England and biggest clubs in the world, have not won a league title since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement in 2013. Since then, they’ve gone through a whole ho
