1 FaverShareViewed: 11 TimesQuoted: Still a little shaken by the charter bus collision yesterday that almost sent one (if not both) buses full of Job Corps kids plummeting 30 feet onto I-5, we walked back down to the scene, East Thomas Street and Melrose, this morning. The buses had been towed away last night. The west end of East Thomas was vigorously sanded to give the trucks traction, and a temporary guardrail installed. Thank god for the days of plentiful rebar.
This bus and another took a hilly side street since Denny was closed . The other bus (not visible in this picture) apparently pushed this bus all the way down the side street. Had the bus not stopped in time, it would have fallen 30 feet onto I-5.
All this happened one block from my apartment. Picture is taken from my cell phone.

Just catching up on the news that Maurice Clemmons was shot on Dec 1st. Was Maurice setting a trap to kill the first responder to a reported stolen vehicle. That seems plausible, but why then did he approach the police car with his gun in his pants, instead of drawn and ready to fire?
I can't imagine the stress placed on Officer Benjamin Kelly in making the identification and decision to shoot Clemmons in just a matter of seconds.

This is a pretty creative subway site. I like the interactive map that tells you how many minutes your trip will take.
