In middle school a semi style tow truck hit our school bus, side swiped us at about 55mph, right in the front doors... jacked the bus up pretty bad, but not compared to the tow truck. It was missing the entire front end, down to the windshield - just ripped it off.
Them flat back frames on buses are bad ass strong... and some have i-beam cross mounts, they may sound like crap and look like crap, but they actually are very safe for the kids. Not that crap doesn't happen but in most cases, the bus wins, even up against semi's.
