Last June 13, 2010, Cebu was rocked by a sad and tragic news. A tourist bus, which was on its way to Balamban, fell off a 30-meter ravine in Barangay Cansomoroy in Balamban. 21 people died and at least 30 were injured. Most of those who were killed were Iranian nationals.
Today, almost two months after the accident, I finally got the chance to visit the crash site. Here are some of the photos that I took using my cousin Lester’s camera.

Beyond the steel barrier is the ravine where the bus fell.
According to reports, the driver lost control of the brakes and drove straight into this area.

It’s amazing there were survivors, Ley. The bus looked like a crumpled sheet of paper! The footwear left behind look sad. What lives their owners must have led before this accident! 🙁

That accident was absolutely fatal and extremely mournful. Those who were rescued from the crash site were lucky enough to have been given another extension of their lives. Yet, it must be very painful on their sides once they get to remember what happened. They did survived but the heartbreaking memory would remain.
very terrible.
very tragic accident!
