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

Not even close, my Setra operating manual specs indicates 11' 9". However, I call dibs on parts before Bryce can get in. ;D

The driver was reported to have said 'The GPS system put him on that route' but you still have to look where you're going.

A perfect example of people becoming to dependent on machines to think for them.  Cashiers today can't make change without a computer telling them the right amount.  Now a bus driver ....

Sounds like more of a steering wheel hugger than a bus driver to me.

About two months ago, a GPS sytem put a man in a rental car on Metro-North Commuter railroad tracks in Westchester County, NY. Car got hit by train.  He lived, I hope he knows better now.

He didn't even have to look up, their was a working over-height detector with a klaxon and flashing lights. It makes you wonder if the driver can read the ENGLISH language.

must have been going too fast and not paying attention.

Too many steering wheel holders do it every day.

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 ;D  BK  ;D

OK, so I got curious and found that fe2_o3 is ferric-oxide.  So what kind of name is Ferric Oxide for a busnut?

Anyway, Hi Ferric, how ya doin?
