    I don't understand there being only 6 injured passengers either. I remember when I lived in Philly, if a bus crashed with 15 people on board, all 32 of them sued.

    So if the car in front of him stops abruptly, how come it's the car in fronts fault for the bus driving to fast? If I'm correct if I hit someone from behind even if they stop abruptly it's still my fault. BUS DRIVER FAIL!

    1) she's wearing a fucking snuggie blanket with a belt.

    2) The bartender should learn how to properly trim his mustache.

    3) Conjecture in a news report is epidemic (if people had been standing here...blah..blah).

    4) that guy's name is Semen. lol.

    The bus driver is a solid union man. Obviously, he's the victim of a vast, right-lane conspiracy.

    NYC Transit actually has the audacity to claim it wasn't the bus driver's fault. Obviously the driver was going too fast for the conditions and the location. And he must have been following too closely and was inattentive putting himself in this situation.

    When don't cars come to an abrupt halt in New York City?

    F=MA

    Gotta love those laws of physics.

    His brain was turned off. It's obvious to me, as both an ex-tour bus driver (had to do something to pay for college) and someone who has piloted a 40' diesel pusher motorhome around the NA continent for about 80K miles, he hadn't so much as backed off until either he hit the first car, or maybe a split-second before that.

    The bus likely weighs 'bout 30,000 lbs., empty, and it looked like he was going a good 35 MPH.

    Dayum = 30,000 lbs. X 35 MPH

    I can't believe how much space is in between the cars stopped at the light.

    Here in D/FW, you'd have three people trying to wedge their 3/4 ton long-bed, four-door pickups in there.

    I need to vent. Bus drivers are the worst. I don't know what it is, but a lot of them act like they're entitled to the road and do absolutely insane moves that endanger the people outside while they sit in their solidly reinforced, super-heavy death machines.

    My madre's car just got nailed by a bus, my friend got hit by a bus and the totally awesome Barney on How I Met Your Mother got hit by a bus.

    Coincidence? I don't think so. Stop the Buspocalypse!

    @MrBangBam: And New York bus drivers are the worst of the breed. They are incomprehensibly disrespectful of traffic laws, especially when you consider that MTA bus drivers work for the freaking government! I will give anyone reading this 10 to 1 odds that the next time you see a traffic jam in midtown it's because an MTA bus is blocking the box. It blows my mind.

    I was fortunate enough to meet with a serious mayoral candidate before the 2005 campaign, and given the opportunity to discuss anything and everything I wanted to see him accomplish in office, the first and only thing that came to mind was doing something about MTA bus drivers. Not taxes, not crime - bus drivers. They are that bad.

    @brownie has no witty phrase to add: the worst thing about a bus driver blocking the box... he has nowhere to be! He's sitting in that seat for 4 hours if he wants or not driving in a loop. The hell does he care about a minute?!

    And moral of the story?: Install good quality security cams outside your property in NYC. Makes for good air play.
