Pan said the crash was caused by an air brake system failure while the bus was descending the hill.

Pan said the crash was caused by an air brake system failure while the bus was descending the hill. He noted that the bus had been involved in accidents before.

An airbrake system failure, USUALLY, stops the bus as fast as possible: No air , pressure in the system, the brakes get engaged. I hope the police checks on the "failure", I would look onto discs and pads, for instance. Because maintenance cost money: "this one tour we still can do, or the next one, or, ....."!
