They were watching "Crash" on the hacked Nav screen.

Re: Note To All: Watch Out For School Buses
Just a couple of questions.
Why would anyone cut an SUT in half and make a trailer out of it? Also, why would they tow it behind a bus?
You know how fast they would have had to be going to do that much damage to the H2.

Re: Note To All: Watch Out For School Buses
I would like to know how fast they were going to do that much damage, they had to be Hauling Ass.
After seeing that picture, I am ready to trade the H2 for a H1.

An H1 wouldn't fare much better. School buses are designed to take on high speed crashes with semi's and still remain intact. The height of the bumper doesn't help much either.
Saw this on Break.com, yeesh what a bunch of morons. I believe one asswhipe actually brought up how the smart car would do better in the same situation...

You must be right but maybe its the bus's height and massive frame. I always thougt schoolbuses were a bunch of aluminum siding on wheels. I guess thank GOD they are not. Regards The Rebel

Re: Note To All: Watch Out For School Buses
The second crash occurred at about 10:30 a.m. in the 1600 block of Madison Avenue and shut down traffic in both directions.
Police said Sabrina Trotter, 44, the driver of an Indianapolis Public Schools bus, stopped on the road to take a cell phone call from her mother.
Police said the driver of a Hummer, John Northrop, 54, was going northbound and was tuning his radio when he plowed into the back of the bus.
Northrop suffered minor injuries. 
Police ticketed Trotter for an improper stop.

Re: Note To All: Watch Out For School Buses
Minor injuries? WOW! And good for the po po's for ticketing the bus driver. On a side note, those buses are VERY strong. I'm a firefighter and we used the "jaws of life" on one in a training scenario. The "jaws" were demo units and I broke two of them trying to cut the window posts.

Re: Note To All: Watch Out For School Buses
Glad to see the guy only suffered minor injuries...but seriously...how is that possible? the front seat of the H2 is almost totally in the 'cool seat' on the bus....he must have had his seat LEANED WAYYYY BACK w/ all that bling, i guess it makes sense...  |
