You never hope to see what happens when school bus meets snowplow, but it happened on the roads of Savannah, in upstate New York.  A bus from the Clyde-Savannah Central School District was coming up over the hill when it was met head on by a snowplow coming in the other direction.  In case you can’t tell from the image above, the bus lost that collision.  A school bus full of fifth and sixth-graders collided with a snowplow.

Of the 37 students on the bus, 22 were injured (along with the bus driver).  The driver of the bus, 48-year-old Ruth Y. David, was trapped for over an hour until rescue crews were able to pry her out of the wreckage.  Two students sitting in the front seat on the right side of the bus suffered serious injuries and were trapped for 30 minutes.  It’s a pretty incredible car wreck, and no doubt all involved are thankful no one was killed.

“It could be a speculation, but we’ve got the bus coming out of a curve that is in the shadows, entering into an environment of bright sun over two snow-covered fields on either side,” said Chief Deputy Bob Hetzke of the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office.  “With a wet road, sun low in the sky, I’m sure glare probably is a contributing factor.”

It’s just not safe to enjoy yourself anymore, between […]

This will be the last Samsung Galaxy Note 7 to ever be on an airplane.  After all, the phone has been pulled from shelves and pockets all around the world, because the phones tend to, uh… catch fire and/or explode.  It’s not a laughing matter if you’re flying over the Rocky Mountains with one in […]

The Red Cross is a wonderful organization.  When there’s trouble, the Red Cross is there setting up shelters and handing out food and water.  The Red Cross is normally very sensitive to the community needs around them, to boot.  However, sometimes, something will slip through the cracks that just looks wrong.  One of these things is […]

One of the most famous features of Matt Groening’s fictional town of Springfield is a strange one.  Springfield is home to a giant, perpetually burning tire fire.  I guess considering the town also has a nuclear plant that routinely leaks glowing green waste into the town’s water supply, the tire fire isn’t such a big […]

Gas prices don’t usually go down.  They go up.  Gas prices rose for decades, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly, but always up on a long enough timeline.  Not long ago, $4 a gallon for gas was a very real proposition.  Nobody thought prices would go in the other direction, and yet… gas prices are going down […]

Fashion designers look for inspiration everywhere.  Some of it is pop culture, like Friday the 13th-inspired hoodies.  Other fashions are inspired by low culture, like deluxe Snuggies.  Some people turn to the culture of their past for inspiration, like the 8-bit video games they grew up on.  Italian fashion house Moschino is partnering with Nintendo […]
