Yesterday the flixbus in Saxony, today the one in South Africa. Better to travel with DB Regio. Bus travel has become life-threatening 😮

[@TheYoutubeUser69]

Cars have always been the most dangerous long range transport

[@victormakusha2499]

[@badabinbadaboom7338]

Oh come on 😅 it was a typo. They corrected it already.

[@quakerninja]

:(

[@jieli3313]

We just want fair competition! But the Chinese government has made it impossible for us to speak! Who is a good guy and who is a bad guy? You tell me!

[@lesliejackson8188]

Five dead in Flixbus incident.
Africa: Hold my beer

[@rhnkm]

Don't joke around tragedy. Please

[@SC-ze1pd]

In poor taste...

[@thabosoweto3094]

South Africans!!!.....why is it a must for us always on Easter and public holidays to travel???.....what happened to family time!!!

[@johannel6337]

Cell phone

[@r------]

Crah?

[@skreety0455]

Russian driver??😮

[@katlegorapelang1048]

Overspending...Batswana has a habit of overspeeding where it's not necessary 😢😢😢😢

[@jonny5714]

Poor bus :(

[@johnbauby6612]

I guess god was asleep at the wheel.

[@skreety0455]

There could have been a 12 yr old driving😮

[@wingtip76]

I would bet my money that the brakes on the bus failed because Africans don't believe in maintaining and servicing their machinery and vehicles, they just don't. Either that or the driver was drunk. Usually one of those

[@thabzmad7265]

Wow what utter ignorant stereotyping nonsense! I ensure I service my own regularly, and many others I know do so, does it mean we are not African? You could have more credit if you mentioned general poor maintenance amongst the less privileged due to cost and higher degradation as a result of poor roads exacerbating the issue!

[@leavesinautumn5959]

Casual racism, the internet wouldn't be the internet without it.

[@mashobane6177]

No , I think the driver was too tired, driving from Botswana to South Africa Is not a game . He was supposed to be changed.

[@user-yr9ik4fc5s]

​@@thabzmad7265 Your ignorance is beyond belief.

[@MMTLP-JON]

What's Up with that Shadow behind the Reporter? That's some very armature lighting going on for a News set. Is this a Home Video Production...🤣

[@eddouglas]

Yanks did it

[@MikaelArhelger]

So what? That is very local news and not worth reporting. DW once again...

[@AnthonyTolhurst-dw1nc]

Callous

[@sandisom23]

Just skip, no need for hate fella!

[@nthapetlala7822]

So according to you Sir, the fact that 45 People died means nothing to you?

[@rhnkm]

It's very sad but what you said is also correct. We get these kinds of news daily in India they are reported in local news not in national tvs too. Maybe it's very rare in south Africa.

[@maredi_Ntsoane]

you are racist wena, we know you.
