You are saying that if you are driving and a vehicle cuts infront of you and slams on their brakes that you should have known that was going to happen?
Ames does as well.Most DSM-area schools use a private company contracted to do their bussing. (Durham, I believe).
Very glad everyone is okay!![]()
Iowa State Marching Band bus involved in crash on the way back from bowl game
Around a dozen members of the Iowa State University Cyclone Marching Band had minor injuries after the bus taking them back to Ames from the bowl game in Florida was involved in a crash.www.kcrg.com
You realize there is a well known scam that does exactly this. Get in front of someone, slow down to close the gap then slam on the brakes, causing them to hit you. It is the reason a lot of people have gotten dash cams.You don’t cause others to rear end you when you use your brakes. You are rear ended because others are following too close and are at fault.
Hey man, rubbin's racin'. If you're not first you're last. No way you're gonna let some a-hole merge and take your spot behind that tan Corolla you worked so hard for. You EARNED that spot. It BELONGS to YOU. If you don't fight for it, people are gonna walk all over you. And you might be 12 seconds later than you would have been otherwise.You merge into a tight spot and then quickly go for the brakes?
No idea if that's what actually happened, but it's a way to explain how it would be the school bus' fault.
Generally I agree, though, that rear-ending is usually caused by following too closely.
Love the marching band - it's part of what makes CFB great! Glad to hear everyone is ok!My daughter is in the marching band. Scary for the kids on the bus that was in the accident, but all the kids are okay.
It’s a long process to get 350+ kids to Orlando and back. It was 31 hours to get down there. They left yesterday morning before 8 am and will get back to Ames around 2:30 this afternoon. They had expected to get back around noon. Great group of kids that are super dedicated to the Cyclone game day experience.
The motor coach driver was not charged with anything is all I know. I guarantee Windstar Lines uses front facing cameras on their buses.You don’t cause others to rear end you when you use your brakes. You are rear ended because others are following too close and are at fault.
So the other bus leaving the scene does not reek of them possibly being responsible for the accident? If the Windstar bus could of avoiding hitting them pretty sure they'd want to hang around and make a statement on how they were not at faultYou don’t cause others to rear end you when you use your brakes. You are rear ended because others are following too close and are at fault.
@cyclones500 this one needs logged for best posts of Q4.Iowa Marching Band bus probably cut them off because they were confused about an exit.![]()
Yep, chartered 2 planes which ended up being a fiasco in and of itself - less than 24 hours in the state of TX for that one.They did fly to the Big 12 Championship game. I am sure Orlando would have been pricey.
Yes, what seemed like a nice perk did turn into a mess with getting the planes there.Yep, chartered 2 planes which ended up being a fiasco in and of itself - less than 24 hours in the state of TX for that one.
If u feel so strong about then why don't u make a donation to pay for this expense?The fact that the university didn’t fly the band to the top bowl game of 2024 is shameful. (Along with how little playing time the band gets now in its own stadium compared to 20 years ago).
