Incident at Tottenham High Road
A double decker's roof was blown off this afternoon. I was told it was a bomb, but the media has not carried the news. Is it information management to avoid panic in the society?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.You'd be dead wrong, I DO hold a bus licence, and you would need to be INCREDIBLY stupid to haul the upper deck off of a decker!! I work in a bus garage, I drive deckers, sometimes up very green leafy lanes and I have never even put a window through! Where I work, you would get the sack if you did something like that!
I meant you would get the sack with my company if you hauled the roof off, sorry if it read wrong! You would rip the roof off of an older decker too if you hit something hard enough, the driver must have been going at some rate and the council obviously haven't been trimming the trees, because they are supposed to on official bus routes.
It would suggest to me that he (or she) wasn't meant to be there, usually drivers do this sort of thing when they are somewhere with a decker they shouldn't be and they fail to notice overhead hazards, as a driver of a tall vehicle you should always be aware of low bridges and trees because this sort of carelessness is totally avoidable, and any driver who disagrees with this I would question his or her competance to be behind that wheel.
I knew a bus driver once who was on a single track road with a coach and he came to a narrow bridge, clearly too narrow for the coach, but through he went, ripping both sides of the coach off (literally!). When he was quizzed by the transport manager about why he did that, he said he had no choice, even although there was just about enough room to reverse turn into a farm track adjacent to the bridge! Wallys!
