    I just read about his reaction when and after he met the driver. There are no words for how much respect I have for him. He is a greater person than I will ever be. The world would be a better place if there were more people like him.

    I have a ten month old and I miss him when I am at work .... Can't imagine of a day not seeing him. A child does not grow without sacrifices and hard wok from both mother and father and it is all worth it to see your child grow and be someone. I can't think of a word to describe the feeling, when this man got the news that he is never going to see his son.
    My prayers for him and his son.

    My heart truly breaks for you Scott Thomas,your family,your son,all of the victims in this horrific crash,their families,friends,your community,province and all of Canada. I've been following this from day 1 of the crash and even though I don't know anyone of you personally I cry every time there's an interview or any kind of media coverage on the crash and I'm pretty sure everyone feels the same. I'm certain anyone who watches anything about this tragedy wishes they could turn back time and bring your loved ones back to you but unfortunately that's not how life works,however I hope you all can find some comfort in knowing you are not grieving alone as the rest of Canada grieves with each and every one of you,sending lots of love,thoughts and prayers to you all.....R.I.P. Humboldt Broncos

    Thank you for sharing what ur son would say or do, what was important to him.
    This shook me so bad. The accident, how it all went down, so dam unfair. People have no idea how their actions of stupidity affect the lives of so many. (Truck driver's actions, one day, I would like to meet him and give him a piece of my mind. !!!!!!) But anyway,
    Sorry, so sorry this happened. I pray u get to read my comment, with much love to u, ur family and to ur son. Forever, ,,,,,, Penny McLain

  • @gukaizhi
    @gukaizhi 6 років тому +2

    Unfortunately I agree with the father for the cause of the accident. There was a stop warning sign before the stop itself and there was a light at the stop to. How could he missed all that. I guess the investigation will tell us what went on but they should at least put a 4 stop sign now. It wont bring them back but something is got to be done to prevent an other tragedy because it happened once before.

  • @rickdeckard9810
    @rickdeckard9810 6 років тому +1

    Even if the sun was in his eye, he didn't see the flashing red lights, he's approaching an intersection and should be aware regardless. That's a weak excuse for such a tragedy.

      @truhshy 6 років тому +1

      ein 3248 you really think that seatbelts are really going to make a difference when a bus gets fucking t boned by a semi truck?

    • @ein-rw7uy
      @ein-rw7uy 6 років тому

      The bus t-boned the truck at the trailer. (no fault of the bus driver). thats obvious!!! sorry you feel the need to swear so "fucking truck" how many died as a result of being thrown from the bus. why is it illegal to not wear a seat belt in a car but it is legal to not wear on a bus. that includes school buses. How often does a plane crash yet you have to wear belts? And yes i do fucking believe that seat belts would have fucking saved lives. seems weird to swear about a sensitive issue but it leads me to believe that you know you dont have an argument, just the need to hear yourself blab!!

    • @truhshy
      @truhshy 6 років тому +1

      ein 3248 still would be dead upon impact, seatbelt or not, that doesn’t really make a difference
