18 killed in Hong Kong double-decker bus crash

The first guy they interviewed on the Hong Kong news said that the bus was not going particularly fast, but that the driving was erratic. He said he wondered if the driver was ok, and was tempted to say something, but he just let it go, thinking that things would probably turn out all right.

Then this morning a whole raft of passengers are quoted as saying he was going too fast. Was the first guy just lying, or unwilling to say anything bad, hoping to somehow help the poor driver out in any future court case, I wonder?

Sad news. Some of our comrades from Portland were there and took similar buses. They reported the buses travel pretty high speed. Glad we have the Max here.
