Ebu explain because I've also noted instances where cars are being swept but people walking unperturbed towards the car to rescue

When you go swimming at coast, and you are not good, unapewa tube imekwa pressure so that you stay afloat.
That bus has 6 such floaters, and this significantly reduces it's grip on the road. So a very small force is enough to push it aside. Thus, slow moving water can very easily sweep a 26-wheeler.

A human being sinks in water under ordinary circumstances. So you can easily walk through slow moving water even at waist level, coz your feet have proper grip with the riverbed.

They only needed to wait for two hours but they were in a hurry.

They had waited for two hours. And they were the entertainers and directly family of the bride and groom.
Such anxiety is enough to impair judgement.
Tbh, most people, including me and you, would behave in a similar manner. Especially if you don't understand the dynamics of buoyancy, aka Archimedes law.

They are not bridges, they are drifts. Concrete slabs that are most ideal where rivers are likely to flood for a few hours then disappear. They are cost-effective where very long span bridges may be built that have water under them for only 10 per cent of the time in a year.

Niliona watu wakiuliza wapi guard rails?, I shook my head, most Kenyans from the high potential areas do not understand the reality of ASAL areas.

Or they could have even postponed the event because essentially it wasn't an emergency or something along that line.

They could even have scheduled the event when it's hot and dry.

But anyway

From this view, it may look like the driver missed the bridge.
What's not obvious is that he was unable to put the bus on the right path on account of the water.
Any time you plan to drive through a river, bear in mind that 6 inches of slow moving, water which a child can effortlessly wade through, is enough to wash away a Fielder or equivalent.

This driver would have maintained that bus on the right it would have been safer , even the guys directing him were running to that side,how could he be going to the opposite direction or is it the water that is pushing that bus to the extreme end ? That driver couldn't have made it seeing the bus nosedives immediately the moment it overturns .
