I once took a bus trip to Innsbrook. That was the scariest trip I ever took. 60 MPH on winding roads, and huge drop offs. Never again.

The only way this should make news on FR would be if it was a bus full of lawyers with an empty seat.

There it is again...

Journalism 101: any bus mishap story must use the word "plunge." Never crash, careen, skid, wreck, fall, overturn... Nope, always "plunge."

This usage has become so ingrained that Bus Plunge is a web site.

Took the bus ride up Pike's Peak when I was 12. The driver kept turning around to talk to my Dad. Jeeze.
