Back in June of 2015 a 24-year-old driver by the name of Johnthony Walker, while speeding a corner, flipped the bus into a tree and killed 6 children. The driver faces 6 vehicular homicide charges as several other children were injured and four had to be hospitalized for being in critical condition. This article talks about one of those children's funerals named Cor'Dayja Jones'. At the Saturday funeral, she is seen in photos of dancing or posing in funky costumes or outfits. " She sang with my two daughters every week and was an angel-- a strong, quiet, caring young lady," Wallace said. " She was the embodiment of what we want every child in this community to become." As Wallace isn't the only one who cares for the children as The Woodmore Fund has been donated $112,000. And local citizens have create a memorial of hundreds of balloons, stuffed animals, flowers, candles, and photos.
Analysis:
This article written by Ariana Sawyer on November, 26, 2106 addresses the issue of the tragic death of 6 children due to a bus accented. My opinion on this matter is absolutely horrible. I just can't imagine that many children having to face an issue such as death so early on in their lives as they won't be able to fully recover. I just can't imagine your life going away that quickly, it's absolutely horrible. It makes me scared for public transportation such as the bus that I use to leave school sometimes. People really need to address the issue of safety over children and public transportation. As another event just like this happened on November 4, 2016 in Springfield NY as a 7 year old girl was pinned under a school bus and died.
