Bus Crashes Into Live Truck During News Conference (Cincinnati Casino Construction Collapse)
WKRC ^ | 12:32 pm EST January 27, 2012 | WKRC

Posted on 01/27/2012 10:24:56 AM PST by TSgt

So they are holding a news conference about the Cincinnati Casino Construction collapse when a Ride Go Bus drives into the news conference and side swipes a news van.

The driver, female minority, parks the bus, gets out and begins yelling at the folks holding a news conference. She basically says it's there fault she hit a PARKED vehicle and that she is just trying to do her job.

You can't make this stuff up!

What is a “live truck?”

Does it needs a mechanic or a doctor?

:o)

Bookmarked for later viewing. I could use a laugh today.

My Daddy once told me the story of the town drunk who plowed into neighboring town's drunk out on a lonely public road in the high desert. First words out of his mouth was "What the hell are you doing on my road?

And no one had the guts to do anything but cower when the certain ethnic female bus driver began giving them heck.

And her job is safe, because it’s virtually impossible to fire an angry black woman.

Transcript: "If you would have moved out of my way I wouldn't have ran into this truck. We still have a job to do and I understand that ya'll got a job to do but I still got a job to do. I got passengers on this bus."

There is no doubt in my mind that she actually thinks the crash is not her fault...

An angry public employee black woman...

http://www.ridegobus.com/about_gobus.html
The GoBus Intercity Bus Service is a collaborated effort between Ohio Department of Transportation, The City of Athens, and Hocking Athens Perry Community Action. The project is part of a nationwide effort to connect rural areas and urban centers that result in connections of greater regional, statewide, and national significance.

The service was initiated by the Federal Transit Administration and the Ohio Department of Transportation. The City of Athens received funding from these organizations to manage and promote this service to help link Athens, Ohio and neighboring rural communities to the cities of Columbus, Ohio and Cincinnati, Ohio. They also received federal stimulus money to purchase three new deluxe motor coaches to operate along these routes. The City of Athens appointed Hocking Athens Perry Community Action, a non-profit corporation dedicated to the needs of the region, as the project administrator.

The buses run each route twice daily with connections to Greyhound’s nationwide system and the Port Columbus International Airport providing Southeast Ohio residents with greater access and mobility.

Right: this despite the fact that the bus first came to a stop, THEN hit the van and ended up on the sidewalk!

“Add one more to the unemployment list.”

That bitch has been on the victim-hood plantation since she got her first high fat meal. Of course the bus hitting anything will never be her fault as it is always the white peoples fault.

Another big BO supporter I am sure.

Hey white folks, stop your damned cowering every time one of these cows starts to bitch it only feeds their lack of responsibility for their actions.

I wish the reporters would have picked up their cameras and mics and went to interview the driver.

“Maam, please explain to the viewers what caused this accident. Are you going to sue?”

BTW - Did anyone else make the connection? The conference is about an accident that stopped a construction project. He was talking about the investigation and the impact as a public union bus driver first stops, honks her bus horn, then proceeds to drive her bus into a parked news trucks and within feet of stationary pedestrians.

I hope OSHA investigates this complicated accident.

Someone’s gettin’ fired. She can sue for “discrimination”, but it’s gonna be a tough fight.

I have had close calls with arrogant bus drivers in Seattle. It’s just another thing I love about rural Kentucky. :)

Face it.....what’d you expect her to say?

“I’m an incompetent affirmative-action hire who should be scrubbing toilets and a loud mouthed bitch, at that!”???

Normally I would agree. The video is rather damning, however.

“There is no doubt in my mind that she actually thinks the crash is not her fault...”

Could get interesting. There’s the principle of being the last person able to avoid the accident (bus driver), but there’s also the principle where the person comitting the crime (illegal parking by the live truck?) is responsible for anything that derives from the crime.

At least, that’s what’s going through my mind.
