http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=VI-20130821-40620-IDN

Quote: "The bus, carrying about 60 people from a church in northern Jakarta, was returning from a trip to the hilly resort town of Puncak when its brakes apparently malfunctioned, said local traffic police chief Capt. Muhammad Chaniago. He said the bus hit a small car and crashed through the wall of a roadside building before both vehicles fell up to 8 meters (26 feet) into the river in Cisarua."

Note: And yet another brake failure incident. Hydrogen sulfide is being absorbed into brake pads and tire rubber. Then when brakes are applied, an unusual amount of heat is generated (since hydrogen sulfide burns very hot), and then bad things can happen: tires explode or ignite, brakes burn out or ignite, fluid lines rupture, the entire vehicle goes up in flames, or all of the above. This problem tends to hit massive vehicles the most (more tires/brakes and more friction required to slow), but no vehicle is immune...

2013-08-10 - Car crashes into pond in Richton Park (Illinois), driver appears disoriented, combative:
http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2013-08-09/news/chi-man-safe-no-other-victims-found-after-car-goes-into-suburban-lake-20130809_1_submerged-car-suburban-lake-fire-crews

Quote: "When crews arrived soon after the call, the man started 'hollering' that his wife and child were trapped in the car, Wilson said. Divers checked the car, which was submerged with its roof a few inches below the surface of the lake, and found no one in the car or in the surrounding water. When the man got to shore, he appeared disoriented and became combative with police and fire crews, hitting one fireman, and had to be restrained before he was taken to the hospital, Wilson said."

Quote: "The man was unable to give a statement to police about what happened..."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is neurotoxic and can cause disorientation, confusion, memory loss, seizures, and more. Why couldn't he give a statement? Maybe he doesn't even remember what happened...
