Ade4265 Â Â 10 #1 Posted November 21, 2010 (edited) While I was on the 58 Stagecoach Bus traveling through Stocksbridge a few hours ago, a man suddenly leaped from the back of the bus and said the bus was on fire. When we all got off the bus, there was thick smoke pouring from the back, I presumably the smoke was coming from the bus engine. That was quite a terrifying experience.

Sensiblade   10 #9 Posted November 21, 2010 I expected that vandals had set the bus on fire from the title of the thread. Glad it wasn't and was a mechanical issue by the sounds of it and everyone is ok who was on the bus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
