On Novemeber 22, 2016 a school bus crashed in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Six children were tragically taken from thier families, their communities, and the world. Was it a bad driver? Or is it a bad system - a system that is built around two very fragile operator dependancies - perfect school bus drivers and perfect motorist surrounding the bus?
This safety moment was painful to record - and I will bet it will be painful to hear - but listen and think about what this accident should mean for all of us.
Thanks for listening to the podcast. You are such an important part of this community - we cannot do it without you. Thanks!
