It was just bad luck that Lana found out about Tony and Carla that particular day. No one could have predicted that she'd catch her new boyfriend, wrestling team captain and secret steroid abuser, making out with her old cheerleading rival at the very same time that a busload of orphans was about to plunge over the scenic Lowell County Cliff Formation.
When an enraged Tony broke her neck to "shut the bitch up," Clark was busy extricating crying children from the wreckage.
Upon learning of the tragedy, Clark shrugged and said, "Oh, well. You can't save 'em all."
Darn.
