What a terrible tragedy. My sincerest condolences to their families.
I also wonder about those tires. My understanding is that they should be used after they are 6 years old.

Seems to me that most of these bus/van crashes with numerous fatalities are religious groups of some sort. Why? Condolences to the victime here.

The investigators should check the age of that bus''s tires.

Consumer advocates are trying very hard to get the information out about expiration dates on tires.
Expired tires are extremely dangerous in that the material they are made of decinergrates. New tires, already past their expiration date, are being sold all over America. Too few consumers realize that tires have expiration dates and find out only when they have a blow-out while driving.

If the manufacterers didn''t hide the expiration date on the inside of the tire or hide the information about tires even having an expiration date, less highway deaths would occur in this country.

One man lost his son to a car wreck letting him use the family van for a graduation trip, a van with new tires...tires that had expired.

If a tire blew, at least it wasn''t the bus driver''s fault. I feel so very sorry for him. Lord help him.

The charter company has bus load of insurance but this wont bring back the dead.Let this be a notice to any one who traels by bus LOOK at the tires of the bus you are about to get on if they look bad they probably are. Wait on the next bus its not worth the chance to die trying to get to your loved ones .

It''s difficult to accept deaths on a hiway and even harder to accept them in mass.
