The Pala accident lang et Pala nnetus was a fatal traffic incident involving a school bus on 11 October 1996 in J geva County , Estonia . The bus was carrying 35 students of the Pala comprehensive school and 2 adults 8 people died. The Pavlovo Bus Factory PAZ school bus met a Scania wood lorry at the 3rd kilometre of S ru &ndash N va, J geva County N va road, a narrow unpaved road. Having noticed each other, the drivers chose different strategies the school bus driver, driving at a low speed, kept to the right side of the road in order to give the lorry more space to pass the lorry, driving at about 70&ndash 80 km h, began the man uvre by braking heavily. On the unpaved road, braking led to cross road oscillation of the lorry, leading the lorry driver to worry about a risk of falling off the road. The lorry driver compensated by temporarily unbraking and turning sharply left towards the axis of the road at an unfortunate time, leading the lorry to drive into the school bus at an angle of about 30 degrees. In the collision, the lorry skinned off the school bus left side, killing 8 students born in 1982&ndash 1986. Emergency response was delayed due to the accident site not being covered by GSM towers at that time as well as the lower frequency emergency response dispatch radio transmitter being relatively far from the site, leading to several ambulances passing the accident site before finding it. However, considering the nature of the deaths and injuries, medical experts believe the delays did not increase their number. Aftermath The children who died in the accident were buried on 16 October 1996. By a special decree, the prime minister Tiit V hi declared the day a national day of mourning.

Accident classification is a standardized method by which the causes of an accident, including the root causes, are grouped into categories. Accident classification is mainly used in aviation but can be expanded into other areas, such as railroad or health care. While accident reports are very detailed, the goal of accident classification is to look at a broader picture. By analysing a multitude of accidents and applying the same standardized classification scheme, patterns in how accidents develop can be detected and correlations can be built. The advantage of a standardized accident classification is that statistical methods can be used to gain more insight into accident causation. A good accident classification system is easy to apply, ideally it is intuitive to use, covers as many aspects as possible human performance, organisational issues, technological issues, threat and error management ... with each other.
