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.
