According to their style of driving, most van pilots are no brainers.

How would they be smart enough to ask the pax to leave the van while welding ?

Could he not have opened the passengers door ?

Unbelievable. But nothing at all, nothing at all will change.

so so sad , and such a terrible waste of life..

But we see this kind of thing day in and day out..

Shocking to us, and sad..

But, nothing ever seems to get done, no Safety Awarness is pushed through,

everyone just musters on, until the next fatality.. shruggin there shoulders.. like nothing has happened..

I can't figure it out.... stopped trying to years ago...

but still find it sad...
