Glad to be alive!

No one in the vehicle I was in was hurt.  Not even our puppy.  (Dad had to tie her to a stopsign to keep her from licking the radiator fluid leaking from our engine.)  The only people who got hurt was the driver of the van and the one kid in the school bus.
No fatalities though.  It ended up being the school bus driver's fault.

This was one of those separated highways where the lanes on one side go one way and the lanes on the other go the other way.

1: We are stopped at a stop sign waiting to cross the highway.  The school bus is stopped in the mid section waiting for the chance to cross to where we are. The van is driving like normal in the left most lane of the highway.
2: School bus pulls out in front of the van.
3:Van honks horn
4:Van tries to stop but collides with the front of the school bus full speed despite the driver's efforts to stop.
5:The impact causes the van to swerve right into our car, taking off the entire front end of our car and knocking pieces of metal into the highway.
6: Van ends up flying off the road into a ditch on the right of the highway coming to rest at a Tilted 45* angle.  Tilt, not rotation.
7: School bus keeps going and hits our front-left end which transforms into a harsh sideswipe and then comes to a stop next to us.

And to think our car had just been given a nice new coat of paint.  We had been planning on keeping that thing running for many years to come.   Those Honda's will last forever I tell ya.
