I have only read half the responses so far, but I think maybe some are missing a critical aspect of this: When you say, "He shouldn't have been driving anyways if this COULD have happened."
How do you know, how do you anticipate that? The man could be a perfectly fine driver, may only drive a few blocks close to his home, and be perfectly safe.
I heard that he's used to going down this street sometimes, and that he wasn't aware that the market is usually there.Regardless, can't you imagine an elderly person like that totally panicking the second the realize, "Oh my god, there's stuff flying past me, I think I'm crashing into stuff, this isn't normal, WHAT DO I DO????"
And 15 seconds later you've killed and injured alot of people and caused total panic and mayhem because of your reaction to something very frightening and unlike anything that's happened to you before?If we knew that a problem existed, plenty of things could have been presented. But you don't know if there's not a sign beforehand.
We had no reason to think there would be a reason for the Challenger to blow up in 86, but it happened. Same thing when the bonfire logs collapsed at Texas A&M University a few years ago.
Accidents happen with no way to predict that they can. I feel terrible for this man, all I keep thinking is that we're going to hear that he took his own life because he can't stand to think about what he did.
