Bus Accident.
So, currently, as I speak, I’m walking to my nanay’s(grandmother, for me), anyways, I was taking the 29 south towards HB and all of the sudden an extreme impact was heard from the back and, a split second after I heard it, I felt the shockwave since I was sitting in the front. Everyone looked behind the bus to see what was going on and it was an old lady that hit the bus! Drastic, but thankfully she was alive. I think I was still in shock or something, cause all I did was just look behind the bus and saw a car and turned back around like as if the bus was going to continue its route. Then I looked back again, EVERYONE on the bus got up and went outside. The old lady was trapped, you can tell she was still in shock because her face was so scared. The bus passengers tending to her were giving hand signals for her to come out, but she couldn’t function in her head that she was able, either that or her car really wouldn’t open. She immediately said she can’t get out, most likely because she didn’t know what to do at the time. Here I was, just standing there. Watching all of this happening. I stood there blankly, I didn’t know what to do, I took no initiative to help because there were people aiding her already. They walked her out, sat her on the bench and they called 911.
As they waited for the ambulance and such to come, I stood there taking pictures of the damage. She fell asleep, rear ended the right corner of the car and hopped up onto the curb. Glad she was okay. It’d be really sad if she was fatally wounded. She had symptoms of pressure in her chest and burning. And it hurts to move.
But they took my information being a person involved in the accident, it was…kind of cool. A new experience. It made me want to get into accidents for some reason, or not necessarily accidents in specific, but to be more risky and such. Don’t even know why, ahaha.
Anyways, my mind was flooded with thoughts like;
“What if I died?”
“What if I was injured?”
“What if?”
I started to think how lucky I was that I was alive. You could die any day, but you don’t realize it until an accident like this occurs. For me, it started to feel like I’ve been taking my life for granted.
And I thank God that he’s there watching my life and taking care of me.
