【新唐人2011年11月18日訊】甘肅正寧縣榆林子鎮幼兒園校車嚴重超載6倍，發生重大車禍造成至少21人遇難，其中包括19名幼兒。這一慘禍引發民眾痛心悲憤，網民們紛紛追責中共政府每年公款吃喝、旅遊、公車消費近萬億，投入教育經費卻嚴重不足，尤其在貧困地區，致使「黑校車」事故頻頻發生。

11月16號早上，榆林子「小博士幼兒園」接送學生的小麵包車，與一輛大翻斗運煤貨車迎面相撞。出事校車僅限載9人，為了空出空間來，限定的9個座位被私自拆卸下來，變成無座，當天實際乘載了64人。

死者包括19名幼兒、1名老師和司機，其餘43名幼兒輕重傷。事故發生在下溝磚廠門前，磚廠10多名工人當即救人。磚廠的工人向本臺記者描述了當時的慘狀。

磚廠工人：「我們是參加救援的，這些孩子都是我們救出來，見車就擋，拉去縣醫院。最大5、6歲，最小可能3、4歲，哭著有些叫爺爺有些叫奶奶，有些叫爸爸有些叫媽媽，現場確實慘的很，都嚇懵了，一個孩子特別嚴重，腦袋上皮被揭掉了，大部分都流血，有些是皮膚流血，鼻孔流量，耳朵流血，身上都是血。」

美國中學教師黃老師表示，私自改裝校車，在美國是不可能發生的。

黃老師：「因為美國對法律規定人一定要守法，所以如果規定只能載9個人，他不可能讓這麼多小孩子上去。如果美國發生這種事情的話，學區會被告的很嚴重，家長一定會嚴重告它，事情會鬧得很大。在美國因為有人權，所以，也不可能讓這個事情發生。」

2006年在美國印第安納首府，一輛素以彪悍著稱的「悍馬」撞上了停在路邊的無人校車。結果悍馬半個車體粉碎，校車安然無恙。網貼質問：「中國的校車，汗顏嗎？」

黃老師：「因為美國法律要求，他們校車各方面一定是會定期檢查、維護。在美國這邊，對小孩子的安全是很重視，甚麼事情都是有嚴格規定的，你要申請校車執照。比方說，美國接送小孩的巴士如果停在路邊閃紅燈的話，所有附近經過的車子都要停下來，因為怕小孩子過馬路的時候被撞到。」

在中國農村，步行上學太遠，不少兒童不是因為交通不便或費用過高而輟學，就是別無選擇搭乘「黑校車」。教育部的數據顯示，各類中小學校園安全事故中，有7成發生在農村。

中國每年有2萬多名中小學生因交通事故傷殘死亡。去年7月1號，中國首部強制性國家標準《專用小學生校車安全技術條件》正式實施。但是，許多貧困地區學校經費不足，買不起校車。

甘肅「黑校車」慘禍引髮網民悲憤與問責政府，有些網友說：「能擁有1萬億美國國債，三千億的公車消費，買不起校車？」 「請問教育部和交通部是如何考慮孩子的安全問題，難道中國的法律就是玩的？」

原《中國民營》雜誌記者劉逸明針對甘肅「黑校車」指出，中共一黨專制是有法不依、教育腐敗的根源。

劉逸明：「顯然不僅僅是事故，它更是一場人禍，人為的因素造成的，至於該問責的肯定是政府。中共當局他們是不捨得花錢做正經事的，但是在自己身上花錢那是非常的慷慨，所以中國現在是一種國富民窮的景象。」

今年中共政府財政收入將突破10萬億，但是，當局提出教育經費佔GDP4%的目標已有18年，卻一直沒能實現。貧困地區的簡陋教育設施和失學兒童，僅靠有限的民間資助。

《天涯觀察》痛斥中共把中華民族變成不斷傷害自己孩子的民族。《每日經濟新聞》的評論質問：還要多少孩子的生命才能換來校車安全？

“Illegal Bus” Kills 19 Children

Seriously overloaded six-fold, a kindergarten school bus

of Yulinzi Town in Zhengning county, Gansu province, was involved in an accident, killing 21 people.

The dead include 19 children.

The disaster caused painful grief among civilians.

Netizens criticized Chinese Communist Party (CCP)

authorities of squandering public funds.

Nearly RMB 1 trillion is spent each year on officials』 meals

and recreation, traveling and car purchases.

This contributed to a serious shortage of education funding,

especially in China』s poor rural areas.

Thus leading to the frequent occurrence of accidents

involving illegal school buses.

On the morning of November 16, a small school bus

of Little Doctor Kindergarten in Yulinzi Town

collided head-on with a large coal dump truck.

With a loading limit of only nine persons,

the school bus removed seats privately for more space.

That day, the school bus actually carried 64 persons.

The dead include 19 children, a teacher and a driver,

with the remaining 43 children injured.

The accident took place in front of a local brick factory.

Over a dozen workers rushed to the immediate rescue.

One worker described to NTDTV the tragic story.

Brick factory worker: “We participated in the rescue.

Among the children we saved, the eldest was five or six years old, the youngest, three or four.

Some cried, calling for their grandmas, grandpas,

some called for their daddies or mummies.

The scene was really miserable,

everybody was scared stiff.

One child was in a particularly critical state, a piece of skin

was ripped off from the top of his head.

Most kids were bleeding. Blood was coming from their

bodies, noses, ears. There was blood all over them.”

US secondary school teacher Huang, said that in the US,

a private modification of a school bus is impossible.

Teacher Huang: “The US law stipulates that citizens

should abide by the law.

So if the loading limit is only nine persons,

the driver won』t let so many children get on the school bus.

If the accident happened in the US, the school would be

charged very heavily. Parents would sue the school.

And the matter would be made big.

Human rights are protected in the US, so it won』t be possible to have such a thing here.”

In Indiana in 2006, a Hummer SUV crashed into a parked

empty school bus on the roadside.

The result was half of the Hummer was crushed,

while the school bus was safe and sound.

A netizen asked: “Isn』t China ashamed?"

Teacher Huang: “The US law requires school buses

to do regular checks and maintenances.

Children’s safety is stressed very much in the US.

Everything has strict requirements,

a school bus license should be applied for.

If a school bus is parked on the roadside, flashing the red light,

the passing by cars should stop for the kids crossing the road.”

In rural China, the distance to the school is very far.

Inconvenient transportation or high transport costs result

in children dropping out of school, and others having no choice but to ride on the “illegal school bus."

CCP』s Ministry of Education data show that of the total primary

and middle school incidents, 70% took place in the rural areas.

In China, traffic accidents each year cause over 20,000

primary and middle school students』 injuries and deaths.

On July 1, 2010, China put into effect the first mandatory

national standard of 『Safety and Technical Criteria for Primary School Buses.』

However, lots of poor-area schools lack funds,

and cannot afford a school bus.

Gansu』s illegal school bus accident incited netizens』 grief,

and they are asking for accountability from CCP authorities.

Netizen: “Possessing USD 1 trillion of US treasury bonds,

spending RMB 300 billion on official car purchases, yet you cannot afford a school bus?"

Another netizen said: “How did the Education Ministry and

Transportation Ministry consider children’s safety issues?

Could it be said that China』s laws are stipulated just for fun?"

Former 『China’s Civilian Run Business』 magazine reporter,

Liu Yiming, commented on the accident.

He said that the CCP one-party autocracy is the root cause

of lax law enforcement and education corruption.

Liu Yiming: “Apparently, it was not just an accident, but was

rather a man-made disaster. CCP authorities should be asked for accountability.

They are not willing to spend money for doing real work,

but are very generous to spend money on their own interests.

That』s why now China presents a situation

of wealthy authorities and poor civilians.”

CCP authorities』 fiscal revenue in 2011 will exceed

RMB 10 trillion.

The goal of the educational expenditure accounting for 4%

of GDP, proposed for 18 years, has not, and will not be achieved.

Shabby facilities and those out-of-school children』s schooling

are relying on the limited financial support by civilians.

Tianya Observation bitterly criticizes the CCP authorities

for its turning the Chinese into a nation that keeps harming its descendants.

‘Daily Economic News』 editorial questions: “How many more

children’s lives would be exchanged for school buses』 safety?”
