Glass windows on a bus explode upon impact with another bus during morning rush hour

Luckily, no passengers suffered serious injuries during this accident.

Earlier this morning, an GoAhead bus driver and his passengers found themselves in an unfortunate predicament during the morning rush hour.

The video starts with a cam car turning into a junction near Loyang Ave towards Tampines Ave 7.

The driver notices a green GoAhead bus travelling straight through the junction as the car slowly inches forward.

He then stops in the yellow box as he lets the bus pass through the junction.

Out of the blue, another bus appears from the right of the cam car and abruptly turns into the junction.

The sudden movement causes the second bus to hit the back of the first bus, which results in the exploding of the windows on the first bus.

Passengers situated near the windows appear to be in shock as the first bus comes to a complete stop.

Pictures of the damage from the accident are posted online as well.

What exactly happened?

According to an online post, it appears that the driver of the second bus had misjudged the proximity of the other bus in the junction.

This explains why he thought it would be possible for his bus to squeeze into the junction.

I can't imagine what it must have felt like for the window beside you to suddenly shatter into a thousand pieces. It must have been traumatising! 😭

Must be a slow morning for generating content..

It doesn't explode... it's an accident with a collision of large heavy vehicles, stuff happens and glass cracks...

Bus drivers really need to be more careful.

Red don't like green?

That junction is always very busy. Vehicles are always caught in the yellow box.

Here the green bus was moving. So the driver misjudged the clearance, or, he had swerved a little while passing the red bus.

my first thought is can glass window explode ?

then why is the green bus squeezing through lane 1 

recently, actually it's been quite a while, lots of heavy vehicles drivers drive as though they are F1 drivers.

if this situation is not arrested more serious accidents will happen.

  • Is 'tiny living' really irrelevant in Singapore?

    I discussed the possibility of living in tiny houses in Singapore in an earlier blog post. But as we know, it isn't an option to begin with – no thanks, of course, to our lack of land space.  Someone also pointed out that the idea of tiny houses is "romanticised" – which, I don't deny (but hey, that's why it's a dream). While it's clear tiny houses aren't going to work out here, the concept of 'tiny living' is; not just physically but also mentally. Anyone who has lived enough years lo
