Why I don’t travel by bus

Two dead, 33 injured when a Rimrock Stages bus crashes east of Missoula. According to the Missoulian, the bus was tooling along at 65 mph on black ice when the driver lost control. The bus rolled, landed on its side, ejecting several passengers.

Buses do not have seatbelts. And city-to-city bus drivers are notorious for speeding.

Incidentally, I tried to post this on Facebook, but was blocked twice: once when I used the long URL for the story, and again when I used the google shortened URL http://goo.gl/lPpCn. Facebook said I was spamming. Facebook deserves a boot in the butt.
