DVD idea, cause of Swiss crash that killed 28?

A Swiss bus crash which killed 22 children and six adults may have been caused by a teacher who diverted the driver by handing him a DVD film to play, a newspaper said Sunday. The allegation resurfaced in Le Matin Dimanche which cited the father of a girl who was seriously wounded in the crash late Tuesday. "My daughter said the last thing she remembers is that one of the teachers went to the driver with a DVD," the paper quoted the father, which it did not name, as saying. Swiss prosecutor Olivier Elsig told the ATS news agency that "the screens lit up and the children saw the menu for a film." But he said there was no testimony about the presence of another person in front of the bus who could have distracted the driver. Investigators said the only thing that was proven was that all six adults were sitting in the front of the bus. Elsig said the investigators would travel to Belgium to interview the surviving children for more insight into the tragedy. The victims included Belgian and Dutch school children around 11-12 years old. It is believed that the coach carrying 46 children, four teachers and two drivers clipped a kerb before it slammed into the wall of a rectangular emergency stop area. Investigators are still looking into the theories that technical problems with the coach or human error caused the crash.
