The bus crash in Liuzhou in 2000 was shocking. Why is this happening?

On July 7, 2000, when a bus full of passengers was driving on the Hudong Bridge in Liuzhou City, the driver lost control and fell into the river to avoid the bridge deck isolation pier set up by the municipal construction, resulting in a serious accident of 79 deaths.

The first cause of this consequence is bad weather conditions. On the day of the accident, it was raining heavily in Liuzhou. Such heavy rain interfered with the bus driver's driving sight, and the driver's operational mistakes led to the tragedy. Secondly, bus drivers drive illegally. According to the provisions of the Road Traffic Safety Law, under special weather conditions, especially in the case of poor vision, drivers should stop and not continue to walk. The blind self-confidence and illegal operation of real drivers are also important reasons for the accident. Finally, the dereliction of duty of the municipal department. When the road pump was being repaired, the municipal department failed to dismantle the road isolation guardrail in time, which led to the driver's improper operation and avoidance of the isolation guardrail, resulting in the vehicle falling out of control into the river.

First of all, bad weather conditions. It was raining heavily in Liuzhou on the day of the accident, which would greatly affect the bus driver's sight. When the vehicle was driving on the Hudong Bridge, the bus driver lost control and fell into the river to avoid the isolation guardrail set by the municipal department.

Second, the bus driver's violation. In bad weather, as a bus driver, we should consider the safety of passengers and can't continue driving. However, the bus driver of this accident was blind and confident, and he continued to drive in bad weather. Finally, an unexpected situation and improper operation caused the vehicle to rush into the river.

Third, the dereliction of duty of the municipal departments. After repairing the street lamp on the bridge, the municipal department should have dismantled the guardrail on the bridge in time, but it failed to dismantle the guardrail in time due to negligence, which made the bus driver on the bridge face the guardrail and made the vehicle out of control and fall into Liujiang.

Do you think this accident is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster?
