"also known as ferric oxide, Hematite, red iron oxide, synthetic maghemite, colcothar, or simply rust"

so any would apply......including "Rusty" "Rusting" or maybe "Rusted"

Well FE2O3 thanks for the link I can feel a little Superior, at least until I go for a drive in the bus

I figured it was OK since we're(Setra & Eagle) all a part of the Kassboher family.

I should have looked myself.  I was thinking it had something to do with the old magnetic recording tape and that maybe there was a music connection there.  Anyway, can't remember that far back.

Well our driver/wheel holder was ticketed.

SEATTLE -- The driver of a bus that hit a low overpass in Seattle is getting a $154 ticket.

Police spokesman Mark Jamieson said Thursday the driver is being cited for hitting a structure with impaired clearance.

The pedestrian overpass in the Washington Park Arboretum is only 9 feet, about two feet lower than the height of the bus that carried the Garfield High School softball team.

The roof was sliced and crunched in Wednesday's accident, sending nearly two-dozen people to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle for treatment of bumps and scrapes. There were no major injuries.

The driver had missed warning signs and was reportedly following a GPS navigation system.

Driver was following his GPS. Man, ya gotta look out the window once in a while!!  fe2_o3 is a form of rust. I have a 4104 in the Seattle area. Nuff said?....Cable

Looks like he might have made it if he'd hit the very center of the arch. But yeah...

Huh? How do you figure? 11'9" bus vs 9' bridge! And then driver claims GPS sent him that way and he was unfamiliar with the route, and that he wasn't paying attention! First off if your unfamiliar with the route you should be paying extra attention, and how do you explain hitting a bridge with a sign right above where you hit it saying 9' clearance? Ignorance is my only answer! Brings new meaning to "driving blindly!" And as someone else mentioned this a true example of a steering wheel holder vs a professional driver! (I'm sure he lists professional driver as his occupation, after all he does have a CDL!) FWIW   BK 

I looked at the pictures is how I figgered. The 9' point has to be the lowest point of the arched bridge over the road, and in this case the road goes right up to the support pillars. There's at least a couple feet between the low point at the edges and the high point in the middle.

Doesn't mean the driver isn't an idiot.
