Next Hour, Unknown

From television, we see that at five am yesterday in Tsing Yi, a bus which carried staff of Cathay Pacific to airport crashed to a taxi which parked on the road side. The accident was serious, five persons dead and over thirty injured.
Initial investigation found out that it was over fatigue of the driver who caused this deadly traffic accident. This driver started to work at seven pm and up to the hour of accident, he already drove ten hours non-stop. Doze of sleep of the driver was the main reason to have caused this fatal accident.
It was really very sad that five innocent passengers died, creating terrible tragedies in the homes of unlucky persons.
It should give the Transportation Department a serious warning that night drivers should not drive more than eight hours. Government should set a rule to limit working hours of the night drivers of public buses.
In our life we cannot avoid tragedies if we are not lucky. We may sit at home and disaster falls from heaven. If we live at high place, an earthquake may destroy our home and we die at a time when we are still in a dream. If we live at sea side, a tsunami may wash away our house. We can have unexpected disaster if God does not grace us.
