Spoiler!

I've been T-Boned before by a car going 80-ish. Full speed. My Car ended up with a huge dent. Totalled, but had there been a passenger, they would've walked away with maybe a broken arm.

It did NOT pancake like that Mazda 6. How fast were these idiots going?

Also. I don't think that passenger made it out in one piece. I've been to the ICBC Yard in Queens Borough. There was a 7 Series that looked just like that. According to one of the Yard security guys, there were still chunks of the passengers in that car. Eugh.

Your comparison is completely irrelevant.

First of all, if you were just t-boned by another vehicle going 80km, the total speed of the impact is 80km. In this case, the cars were headed towards each other when the Mazda6 spun sideways. Assuming the bus was going 60km and the Mazda6 was even just going 80km, the total speed associated with the impact if 140km.

Secondly, were you t-boned by a bus or a vehicle similar in size and weight? It makes it that much more different. I did the physics analysis several pages back. The bus is ten times the weight of the car. Even if the car was going twice as fast as the bus, the bus has 5x more momentum. I'm not 100% sure of this part, but I believe that would mean the car absorbs 5x more of the impact. Bottom line is your car is going to look way worse getting t-boned by a bus versus getting t-boned by a car.
