Humboldt Broncos bus crash survivor tells his story

[@livinunes3865]

“He went to text him and he started the text and then stopped and said he’s not there” that had to be the most heartbreaking statement I’ve ever heard 😭😭😭

[@doreenregan3070]

Ugh. Me too. The harsh reality of that quote. Such a horrible tragedy.

[@titomayo294]

Livi Nunes that happened to me with my grandpa in a dream. I saw him in it and thought he was alive and I went to go call him and tell him to come over and I remembered that he was dead

[@peanutthepoodle]

Happens all the time. Have you ever lost anyone? Even an elderly relative? Years later you will still pick up the phone to call or text them. You’ll unfortunately see one day.

[@TwizslurD]

Yeah.. sadly it happens. Took over my mother's phone number after she passed. Went to call her one day (probably 6 or so months later) and only got a busy tone. Hung up and waited for her to call back. It took me almost 10 minutes to realize that I wouldn't be getting that call..

[@jennifermassie7227]

@@titomayo294 something similar happened to me. My aunt who was battling cancer came to me to say goodbye. She was sitting at the end of my bed. I woke up screaming!! My mom came running to my room and I told her what happened. She said she was ok that the hospital or my uncle would have called her. Seconds later the phone rang. It was the call we were dreading.

Alison Moore any idiot knows to wear their seatbelts in today's society.. rough lesson I suppose but none of them had them on despite knowing better, and most of the deaths/injuries resulted from being tossed around the bus and not from the initial impact.. you're the horrible person here for supporting reckless disregard for personal safety.. thousands more will die if your bleeding heart, irresponsible logic is followed.

absolutely no sympathy. 16 people died and all you have to say is "This is why I don't play hockey". Maybe think about what these people are going through. And it was a truck that hit the bus, not a violent hockey accident. Maybe before you say very rude stuff like this, use your brain and double check what your about to say cause what you just said was very rude.

[@katieroberts6928]

The brain has a way of hiding extremely traumatic events, be careful in the days, months, and years moving forward. PTS is very hard to deal with and recognize personally. Rely on your support system, and seek therapy. It's been a rough road for me and I have lost many relationships, and weeks of sleep. The hardest thing for me moving forward from my experiences was reconciling how I felt like less of a man, and whether or not I could do more. The words that came forth were: worthless, impotent, failure. Which made it even harder to admit and humble myself and my ego. I am currently undergoing EMDR it seems to help but I have only begun. I am sorry for the tragedy you have suffered through as well as the loss of your brothers on the ice. I wish God Speed.

Assassin'sCreedFangirl12 I rodeo myself and I own a Brahman stud so I’m more than well aware of how the stock is treated. Calgary is a blight on rodeos in the circuit. The injury rate at Calgary is appalling and so is how they treat their stock.

I'm not a professional, but I think our brains react to some tragedies because it's too painful for us to remember. I lost my mom last year. At her funeral I vaguely remember talking to my brother but that's all I remember. I have no memories of service. I have no memories of going to her interment. I don't even remember where she is interred. I don't ask because it would be too final. My lay theory is that we don't remember some things because i's too painful.

WHO IS The BLOODY GENIUS responsible for designing this intersection?? 1. Speed Limit of 100 on one side 2. Stop Sign for the other Road. Should the Long Tractor Trailer wait for 24 hours, while traffic zips past at 100 Km?? This is a disaster zone. This should be - either or - lower speed limit, stop or red lights at BOTH ENDS.

[@61astokman]

Why are there no charges against the truck driver for blowing through a stop sign? Where i live in Canada it is against the law to go through a stop sign let alone cause an accident that killed 16 people. There was an eye witness in another vehicle to the whole accident who saw it all unfold in front of her eyes. It can be determined exactly what caused every plane crash by the experts and yet they can not detemine what happened in this accident when there are living eyewitnesses on the ground and in the bus and truck that saw it all unfold. This seems like another coverup. I think the families of the innocent victims deserve better "justice" than this.

[@birdcage2425]

It was an immigrant or illegal, government and media work together to censor their crimes and have been for decades. At this point its been so long with no information i am going to assume the diver is in hiding or fled the country.,

[@chelsm90]

For one they haven't finished investigating and will take forever but result probably will not change. # 2 you don't think the driver feels absolutely horrific whether he is at fault or not, that SIXTEEN people were killed and last he is going through the post accident mostly alone and trying to cope with it some way.

[@61astokman]

chelsm90 Yes the truck driver probably would feel terrible that sixteen people were killed who wouldn't have been killed if he had stopped at the stop sign just like the lady going eastbound on the same road the truck was on was stopped at the stop sign waiting for the bus to pass. The stop sign is there for a reason. ie to not have accidents like this happen. I ask also how the family and friends of the young hockey players feel knowing they will never see these young people alive again. There are consequences for breaking the law. The bus driver was not at fault because he had the right of way at that intersection. It is beyond me that thet can't figure out who is at fault. If the truck had a mechanical failure they should have been able to figure that out by now. There are 16+ innocent victims that didn't need to die or get hurt for life if the truck driver had obeyed the law other than if there was a mechanical failure in the truck.
