French TV is a lot less squeamish about things like this [including suicide bombers and the like] Clearly a bad piece of tunnel design to allow the swerving bus [tyre blowout?] to hit the edge of the emergency lay-by as a full frontal impact. We hear that all passengers were belted but that all the seats concertina-d forwards. The pictures of the bus showed what otherwise appeared to be survivable.

Maybe we should all travel in rearward facing seats like the military aircraft, and otherwise sit towards the back of the bus/plane
