8:30 – Unity’s Chris Bunz and his daughter were travelling from Jasper to Banff Saturday when they thought about taking a Glacier bus tour.  Bunz says they decided the line was too long and they didn’t want to wait, so they walked up instead.  Shortly after, one of the tour buses crashed and three people were killed and 14 others injured.  The line, which seemed like an inconvenience at the time, turned out to be a possible life saver for Bunz and his daughter. Bunz joins Gormley now to talk about just missing the deadly bus crash.
