)

The impact of the crash sent the taxi flying into a nearby light pole and flipped the school bus over on its side, trapping the children who were on board inside.  The three injured adults and six injured children were transported to Woodhull Medical Center and Kings County Hospital.  One witness, who was on the street corner at the time of the accident and saw the aftermath of the crash says that the children “were completely hysterical” and that “they were screaming, yelling, jumping around.”

Several witnesses immediately rushed over to help the passengers off the overturned school bus and were able to get the bus door open and make their way inside to help passengers.  The child passengers of the bus all had special needs, as they were all non-verbal and autistic.  According to residents, accidents happen at the intersection where the bus and cab collided all the time.  Residents are outraged that this particular accident involved children.

Hang-Glider Pilot Sentenced To Five Months In Prison After Passenger’s Death.

Posted on March 10, 2014 by gil hoy

The 51-year-old hang-glider pilot has been held criminally responsible for the untimely death of 28-year-old passenger Lenami Godinez Avila back in April of 2012. Although he was a veteran hang-glider pilot, he failed to follow proper safety procedure and forgot to hook Ms. Godinez-Avila to the hang-glider.

According to police, pilot William Jon Orders failed to hook his passenger to the glider and missed several fundamental steps during a prelaunch safety check. These mistakes, it was determined by a British Colombia Court recently, is what caused Ms. Godinez-Avila to fall nearly 300 meters to her death.

After the pilot landed, he swallowed the memory card containing video of the tragic accident. He was originally charged with obstruction of justice, but that charge was later dropped. The video was later recovered and viewed by the judges in chambers. In the end, Orders was sentenced to five months in prison, a sentence that the victim’s father feels is far too light. No civil charges have been waged against the pilot or tandem hang-gliding company as of yet.
