The bus was carrying a school football team and it is reported to have " lost" it's brakes. The last 4 or 5 km to Chong SaNgam the road is quite steep and a lot of hairpin curves, I've always thought it would be fun in a sports car .

Cars and buses don't just lose their brakes. Invariably lack of maintenance. Heads must roll!

That's a shithole road. Dangerous as FORK.
