Quoted: 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.

What timing---coincidentally, at the exact time those buses crashed at the corner of Melrose & Thomas last Friday, there was a "Virtual Reality" photographer right there, just doing his job to take another panoramic photo of Seattle from Capitol Hill.
Here is his blog entry about it--and following 2 really great panoramic images (from both sides of the buses) of the accident scene.
