BUS PLUNGE

There is, or was, a vein of dark humor (started by the New York Times, https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2006/11/the-rise-and-fall-of-the-bus-plunge-story.html) about bus plunge accidents. The City Museum tries to give visitors a bit of the thrill with none of the danger. This looks scarier from down below than up top. How did that bus get on the roof and is it really about to fly into the street?

Hope to get something posted tomorrow but we are traveling Saturday for the first time in a long while. Illustrated adventures to come.              

Bus Plunge

Bus plunge! Sometimes when newspapers have a little extra space to fill they like to print stories about a bus plunging off a cliff or bridge. The Wikipedia article in the link says The New York Times once published as many as fourteen bus plunge pieces in a single year. Gets 'em every time. 

However, this photo does not show a bus hurtling off a building. (What would it be doing up on a roof?) It's part of the decor of our wacky City Museum.  (The link is to Google Images results for the museum. Its own website is so bad at the moment, the photography so awful, that it doesn't deserve the publicity.) There are also a couple of gutted corporate jets up there, an amazing complex of slides and wire crawling tubes, parapets, turrets and I don't know what all else. Need to get back there for a general shoot.
