An MTA bus that crashed into a Brooklyn brownstone Monday and had been lodged inside the building since was finally moved Friday. CBS2's Jenna DeAngelis reports.
@@jimbo1733 they never release video of an accident like this especially b4 an investigation. Why they doing it now?? Pulled the bus out of the house and left it in the street for people to take pictures and selfies like it's a tourist attraction
That still doesn’t answer why New York State and MTA doesn’t give transportation workers hazard pay during the pandemic. Even with social distancing people are still exposed and getting sick.
People get so distracted easily. How come no one is talking about the last bus crash in the Bronx, last January when the bus went over the bridge. MTA never released a video. What happened???
Several buses in the Bronx need repair I have video evidence. MTA was cutting corners due to Covid. The Bronx situation back fired because MTA couldnt falsely blame the driver for Maitenance flaws. Now most of the buses in the Bronx that needed repairs are being repaired after people spoke out.
Accident happen, no one and no thing is perfect. The driver’s history of driving must be seriously considered before jumping to baseless conclusions. Give the man the benefit of doubt
You know this is familiar this nearly identical situation happened a few months earlier when the bus fell over the bridge both bus drivers are veterans and said nearly the same thing, they couldn't slow the bus down and that it just accelerated. So either MTA is lying to cover there ass about those specific bus models malfunctioning or both men are lying. My money is on the MTA lying.
Both buses involved in these incidents were New Flyer Xcelsior buses. This particular model (Xcelsior) is about the most popular transit bus in the country, and it’s in use all over the USA and even Canada. No Xcelsior buses anywhere else have ever had problems like this, so it sounds like the MTA is not doing so great with the maintenance.
Yuuuppp theyre lying I highly doubt those two men are lying !!!! You can see the guy tried not to drive into the building it’s like the bus was in control of itself
It is too bad that the bus and the building were damaged. I wish hat accident never happened. I hope that the bus can be possibly repaired. Also, I hope the building can be restored to its original facade.
@@TheLunzDen That is why I concentrated directly on the damaged bus. I knew that Great God prevented the accident from becoming worse. Fortunately, no one was badly injured.
The crazy part is he's steering left ,then right. If his foot was on the break the whole time, the breaks were shot. If he accelerated thinking he was breaking, that's a different story. Mayb they can assess the bus better now that's it's no longer part of the brownstone. Either way, it's an unfortunate situation. I'm glad no 1 died or was seriously injured.
@@mistermilkman The "Gas" pedals on buses arent like regular pedals that are essentially variable. The are just on/off switches. So that first hit could have jammed it in to the on position. The brakes wouldn't have engaged or been effective.
@j That is valuable to know. I do know that subway cars have air brakes. I wonder if the old buses like the RTS, RTS Nova and the Orion buses had air brakes.
If it wasn't a mechanical issue then why wasn't the air brakes working , makes no sense its obvious something was wrong. Doesn't look like the driver wanted to just have a crazy joy ride and hit a damn building .. smh 🤦♂️
That is the Flatbush section, and you are right, they change area names in B'klyn daily. I heard that it has something to do with real estate, change the name of a high crime area and get overpriced rents from white liberals.

@@akhnatun yea I member. The Jehovah witnesses started selling their property and the area got fancy and re named and hella expensive. Not that it was cheap before.... we called one area around there something like fruit bowl cuz of all the fruity street names. Idk if it was a thing or just my parents tho lol.
Looks like accelerator cable got stuck! Happens in cars with dry by wire throttle bodies. Driver might get dinged for not having both hands on the wheel. However, the union will fight that due to circumstances.
What a pile of BS, it is obvious that he did not try to stop Jack. I"m truck driver and when the vehicle go foward out of ontrol the first thing that get all the your attention is braking and I don't see the most minimum effort to do that. He is maneuvering the bus without paying any attention to braking. Pure BS.
That is sad people got hurt in the bus,people in the bus did't got kill by bad acciendent.the bus driver lucky he did not got hurt or kill.people did not got kill by bus.
If he wasn't on any mind altering drugs, something isn't right. That wouldn't be the way anyone would want to get hurt,on purpose. I'm not entertaining he pushed the wrong pedal,to that degree.
I got thrown down the isdle of a bus when the driver took his foot off the brake and it lurched forward... I was laying on the floor bleeding, and then the driver yelled at me to hold on... smh, bcch lucky i didnt sue!
No, first thing to do would’ve been to pull the emergency brake. If your going downhill and have little to no steering and speed control of your vehicle and all you have left is the key and the emergency brake (per say the regular brake wasn’t working or malfunctioned) you wouldn’t turn the key since that unlocks the wheels and thrusters from the gas petal, making it fly faster down the slope and possibly taking out someone’s life by barreling into traffic and/or killing a pedestrian walking across the street. You’d have a better chance of saving your life if you use the emergency brake.
He was too worried about that door smh driving with one hand worrying about a damn door he should of had both hands on the steering wheel smh better yet he should of closed his door before touching anything
@@robertvalentin5846 no I want that bus since it’s been sitting there that long it should be the first one out. No different from any other mta bus you’re waiting on lol
BUS seem to have mechanical issue driver did his best to minimize further damage insurance paid for the damage issues solved passenger sue MTA for damage and get long term disability .
Wow… 1. He was stopped, the bus accelerated forward. 2. If you know anything about air brakes, the parking brake needs a minimum amount of pressure to release. It’s still great to see all of these experts come together on TH-cam.
@@user-ln7of9gs4s exactly my guy.. that's an air brakes problem frfr.. can tell.. its no control if the air brake system doesn't meet the proper handling 💪🏾✊🏾💯
@@proppamusic6210 I should have clarified. 1. What caused the bus to accelerate forward? 2. Why didn’t the brakes work? I don’t think it was low air. If he had low air, he would not be able to release the parking brake. 3. It looks as if the engine was under full load, but we don’t see if he is on the brake or throttle. My point was, we don’t know what happened. You can speculate, but you can’t really claim to know what happened. It could really be any thing.
I don't why he put on the emergency brakes if he had no wheelchair passenger on board especially if the bus had an engine failure if the bus had an engine failure n the emergency brake is on the bus is gonna keep on going even if the parking brake is off emergency brake supposed to be off at all times its only use for wheelchair only or nor wheelchair is supposed to be off if the parking brake is off n the emergency brake is on n it has an engine failure that's it its over
people on Instagram were joking and saying he slipped drugs in his pants and said he was acting crazy because of the drugs but i don't think it's a laughing matter i feel like it was a su!c!de attempt and that little movement was him possibly asking for forgiveness from god or something and then starting the bus and crashing into that building
OK how old up hold everything. They expect us to believe a 13 year veteran was not at fault. That he did nothing wrong. When clearly watching the video speaks for itself. If he was this amazing driver. With 13 years under his belt. This accident would’ve never happened. More like driver error. And now they’re trying to say face. When people were hurt in injured because of his inability to do his job properly and pilot that bus safely.

No way, from a bus driver myself.
He panicked pure and simple
One accident is one too many. Time to remove him from driving buses and have him working the booth.
Benefit of the doubt!? He was smoking K2 FOR GOODNESS SAKES!! Look on Worldstar...he took one hit and HE put everyone in jeapardy!!!
Some of these bus drivers are burnt out .
16 people got injured. With possible lawsuits, and the fact that the driver had a previous incident, I'd say this driver will be fired.

And he tried to stop the bus without stepping on the break?
