No brakes? How about turning off the engine?  |

It almost looked like the bus was rushing off to hide somewhere... At least it didn't (quite?) make it INTO the river...

They have a few different methods of braking on buses like that, including huge electromagnetic brake on the propshaft. Someone's in trouble. Love the totally understated British lad, "oh crumbs, we're going to die, how dashed inconvenient." |

Re: 17 Injured when Double-decker Bus Plunges in River
It won't change anything. Beside, the engine is basically on idle, for sure he is not pushing the gas pedal. |
