I think this accident is so awful and my heart just goes out to those families that have lost a child. A parents worse nightmare.
As for the seatbelts...like I said on YT..I just don't know. Those children could have been hanging from a seat belt, and had their blood supply cut off. Who's to really say if there wouldn't have been any deaths with them strapped in?
And another thought...if they were strapped in...who would you pick to be cut out first...last...(yes buses are equipped with a letter opener type gadget that is made for cutting seatbelts) What if the last one died and needed to be cut out first? I can see both sides, but there are very few buses that end up on their side, or go over an overpass. Like I said before, I will accept whatever is decided by the DOT.
