“View of the wreckage of a bus that was transporting Polish pilgrims from a holy site in the French Alps, after it plunged off a steep mountain road, crashed into a river bank and burst into flames, Sunday, July 22, 2007 by the Romanche river in Vizille, south of Grenoble, killing 26 people, authorities said. A further 14 people were seriously injured in the disaster, which occurred at about 9:30 a.m. (0730GMT) near the village of Vizille, not far from Grenoble, officials from the prefecture of the Isere region said.

How 14 people lived thru that is amazing.

    Pretty terrible. I hate buses that go on mountainous dangerous roads. One rule of thumb I have is not to travel in buses that crash.

  2. FloridaBill says:

    That’s a good rule.

  3. Planes that crash are to be avoided as well.

  4. Yarbz says:

    Yes. That is another good rule of thumb.

    Even though planes that crash may be less expensive, it may be worth the extra money for a non-crashing plane.

    Who knew there were holy sites in the French Alps?

    I would always pay extra for the non-crashing plane. It tends to make ones travels less stressful.
