back on the seatbelt soapbox

In the news this morning . . .

"Huntsville has never seen an accident like this involving students," [police spokesman] Johnson said.

He noted that the bus -- like nearly all school buses -- was not equipped with seat belts or air bags.

"The students, when they were hurled over the side of I-565 ... they were just tossed around inside the school bus," he said.

Tossed around is not good.
