May. 15th, 2005 03:32 pmThere was a traffic accident outside my local Tube station today. The pavement has the occasional tree, and somehow this double-decker bus got far too close to the kerb line, and part of the roof was ripped up by one of the tree's thick branches. The side has gone in a bit, and the front window/glass has fallen onto the road (must be some tough glass, since it stayed in one piece). There is a bit debris on the road and pavement. Scary. If anyone was sitting where the tree hit the bus/the bus hit the tree, they would've been at least seriously injured. The trees do get inspected and chopped back if they hang over the road too much, so... and yeah, (most) London bus drivers aren't the smartest or sanest of people, anyway.
Dim sum was luffly =D walked around a bit since it's sunny, now back home and want to sleep.
Bought a book today for a friend. I suppose it's more a comic than graphic novel, and it's gorgeous. ^^

Date: 2005-05-15 02:47 pm (UTC)And Ive noticed before that the glass in busses doesnt smash (unless its the back pane, which you can break in emergencys.
Once at school some second years were pushing each other around on the top deck and a loose windonw just, fell out.
Luckily there was a metal bar that stopped the kid falling out too, but it must have been the shock of a lifetime for the person on the street to see a two meter long pan of glass fall from the sky and land less than a metere in front of him.
I assume it would have smooshed him flat.
