Six killed
in Ottawa’s bus-train collision.
Dozens injured.
Transportation Safety Board
releases its report,
recommending a grade separation for that
crossing.
Meaning the bus should go on one level,
the train on another.
Two years to figure out
that if the bus and the train hadn’t
met,
the accident wouldn’t have
happened.
