RTÉ News: Bus loses roof in Dublin crash

Duh!

This happened just across the river from where I work, and quite honestly, I have no idea how the driver managed it, but fair play to him, that's quite a custom convertible job pulled off with a not very obvious tree!

I think every work email in Dublin had received some form of photos of it within a couple of hours, the strangeness of modern communication...

*except no-one died, or was even injured, which is good.

I looked for the placement of the footnote for quite some time before I realized it was supposed to go with the title not anywhere in the body.

In fairness, the tree was there first*


*And I also had to look for the placement...twice...d'oh!

Those trees seem a long way back from the roadside, Kat. Was he driving along the pavement?

Aww. It was just an excuse to let others see my controversial sig. he he.

We had a similar kind of occurrence in Perth a few years ago. Some bus driver decided to drive under a low hanging bridge....got himself wedged under it - the bus too - hah!
