Video: Columbus Crash-A-Rama Ends With Two Buses Going Through Wall, Into Crowd

columbus-bus-crash-crash-a-ramaThis is why you don’t race buses.

They are big, dangerous and can go through a restraining wall.

That’s exactly what happened in Columbus, Ohio this weekend as some punk with Toyota painted on his ride ass ended another bus, sending it flying into the wall and through a fence which then causes sparks to fly and people to flee the carnage.

Video of the hysteria after the jump.

From the AP:

Columbus Fire Captain Scott Krummel says 11 people were taken to hospitals with mostly cuts and bruises and some ankle injuries.

The Columbus media is on this one with continuing team coverage:

“Every Saturday night there’s some sort of an accident,” said owner Jeff Nuckles. Nuckles son was behind the wheel of a bus that flipped on its side Saturday night. He was not injured.

Nuckles said he will now evaluate the bus racing event to determine if it’s appropriate.

Nuckles wants to get the wall fixed for next weekend’s events.

Seems logical to us. People flee for their lives, barely survive a huge bus coming through a wall and the racetrack doesn’t miss a beat.

Hey, at least it wasn’t full of kids. Now that would be some exciting racing.

    People go to these races knowing that there is some chance of debris coming near the stands. Which is exactly what this was. There were no large chunks of concrete flying into the crowd. These pieces were stopped by the TWO retaining walls. The buses also did not make it near the crowds. These are both exaggerations spread through interviews with viewers trying to sound more important than they truly are.
    The Driver of the Toyota bus, who shall remain nameless, is also in no way a "punk." This was simply a racing accident. Events such as this will happen in any sport. For Example a puck flying into a crowd at a hockey game, or a car tire in the Indy 500.

    Also-
    Great use of words such as "Carnage" and sentences such as "flee for their lives." Bravo. Making a racing accident sound as if it were a catastrophic war scene takes some real talent.

    Overall this blog entry is poorly written and jumps to conclusions. While the point of a blog is generally to convey one's opinion, it's also important that it has some basis for both sides of an argument. This entry is simply too negative and sarcastic.
