"You kids ready to die?"

[Mr. Scot]

Reportedly the last thing spoken by bus driver Johnthony Walker prior to crashing the bus on a Chattanooga TN road.

Bus driver asked kids if they were ready to die

I wouldn't put a whole lot of stock into third party hearsay. But why are the school buses not required to have seat belts? Hopefully this horror why fix this.

Seems to me like this kid shouldn't have been hired as a schoolbus driver and that he wasn't a safe driver at all, which is completely unacceptable when you're driving with anyone else in the car, let alone a bunch of elementary school kids. But I really doubt he said that. I don't think the crash was an intentional and malicious act, just one of carelessness. Which is completely unacceptable when you're in that position and he deserves serious punishment. But so does whoever hired him and whoever got the complaints about his driving before and didn't do anything about them. Such a tragedy.

Agreed, Why do they subcontract bus drivers?
