The A-pillar did not support the weight of the bus. The A-pillar on the driver’s side of the Audi was not squashed because the bus climbed on from the passenger side. The driver of the car survived was not because Audi is a German brand name. Please take a look at the car safety ratings. Japanese cars, particularly Toyota and Honda, have always been the top-rated ones. It is very hard to understand why Japanese products always get criticized, even here, with news that has nothing to do with Japan. Honestly, looked at the nation’s history and international influences, we will have to say that, if there was only one nation in Asia that deserves respect, it would be Japan.
