Bus Crash in California

Late Tuesday afternoon, a tour bus carrying mostly French citizens crashed in Soledad, California. There have been five deaths reported and numerous injuries. The bus was carrying toursists to the airport to catch a flight back to France. There were 36 people aboard, including the drivier a tour guide, and 34 French citizens. The cause of the crash has not yet been determined. This is an unfortunate inicdent. The reason i feel this could become a crisis is because its more than national, it is worldly, because those that died on US soil, were not Americans. When people from other countries are involved in an issue in America it becomes hard to get those of other nations to understand the incident as unintentional, epecially with how skeptical the world has become today. Now im not saying that France is skeptical of an intentional crash, but with causes unknown, there are always questions to be asked. The incident is tragic, but at the same time auto accidents are so frequent that there most likely was many prodromes to expect this, not neccessarily the bus crash, but the everyday tragic wrecks that we hear about so frequently.
