SILVER SPRING, Mar - A Silver Spring, Maryland home has been condemned after a bus crashed into it. The accident happened Monday morning as the driver was attempting to make a right turn. Security cameras on board the bus captured the crash from several angles. Femi Olamide was sitting in a Toyota on the street when he saw the bus crash into his taxi in the driveway of his home.
The bus pushed the taxi onto the lawn and continued into the front of the house.
Two of his sons were inside, but were not injured. "I thought it was an earthquake at first, so when I saw the bus I was completely astounded," Toye Olamide said. "I didn't think something like this could happen."
"I just thought, How in the world could this have happened?" Kofo Olamide said. "Why is there a bus in my living room?"
Nine passengers were on board. Five were transported to local hospitals. None of their injuries were life-threatening. EMS workers also evaluated another four riders at the scene. A structural inspector condemned the home after an evaluation.

I wonder when they changed the speed limit in that neighborhood to 65 MPH?

@oldglory
-Not 65 that's for sure, wide angle lenses make things appear to move faster the further from the center. If you pick out a specific object like the parked car before the turn or lot width you can tell its not that fast, if I had to guess maybe around 30-35.

someone needs to do a video of a dash cam on wide and on zoom. On wide it looks like you are going alot faster than you are and on zoom you can make 60MPH look like 5 mph. She wasn't going as fast as it looks like. I think she was going about 30. Looks like the brakes failed. How come they don't say that?

I commend this bus driver,
!00% brake failure, he did not nod off as some comments suggest as you can see him correcting the steering wheel to position the bus in the lane properly, check cams closely, he pumped the brakes after pedal goes to the floor with no response. He could have taken out the car and made the turn but the kid at the front of the grey car (I wouldnt think he saw the 2 people at the back of the car), driver knew making the corner would kill the kid and took the best availa More..

@TheWorldIsaHole It looked very much as though he was going a bit too fast to begin with for a built up area.

@mangochutney definitely, and if you've driven a truck with air brakes you know it takes a second to slow you down if youre going 50

@lastmanindetroit What is strange, I thought when air brakes fail, they lock the tires, since the air pressure is used to lift the brake shoes off of the drum. No air pressure and the brakes clamp down. Must not have been a loss of air pressure.

You can clearly see at the drivers cam that he is trying to break but nothing happends. Driver is not responsible for this, the breaks simply failed.
