That old Eagle was supposedly very corroded, to the point it was going to be scrapped anyway.   I wonder how well a non-corroded Eagle (is there such a thing?) would have fared.   I suspect that it's curtains if you hit something unyielding at almost any real speed, especially if it's a small contact area.   Who was the busnut here who lost his legs when his Eagle rear-ended something a few years ago?

no bus has much protection on the front they are engineered for passenger safety the driver very seldom walks away from a bus crash,that was Dan that lost his legs

It's his property so he can do what ever he wants with it.  On the other hand the whole episode  just makes me sick.  Nothing learned, no science, no nothing.  Hopefully I never have to have contact with the guy--just my opinion which as usual often misses the mark.  Jack

You got to give him credit.  It took a lot of effort to make that video.  Foolin' around with an old bus, and that 8v71 sounded so sweet.

I'm baffled by how anyone could possibly take pleasure from deliberately destroying any piece of machinery.  The newest vehicle in my yard is 12 years old. I spent the whole week getting a 40+ year old tractor ready to roto-till gardens in our little village. All that time and effort just to destroy something and make a huge mess that - presumably at least - he now has to clean up is just beyond my comprehension.

Hollywood does it all the time.

So does that video demonstrate the correct method of getting unstuck?
That 8v71, though, at full throttle does sound good.

Makes me sick that someone would destroy a piece of equipment fir no reason. Shows you can't fix stupid unless he was killed in crash

Explains Gallagher

What brothers me is there was no driver what would have happen if the bus missed the tree,the door was removed so the driver could jump out that wasn't real stupid the rest is

[oltrunt]

Oops we missed--now THAT would have been one for the Darwin award for sure.  Jack

I wonder if the spare tire was down below, that might have made a little difference.
