What's your theory? It certainly is possible

Well, flying cows are possible. Seeing Jesus in your breakfast burrito is possible (that actually made the news).

Listen to his radio call..It sounnds like he's trying to make up his story as he goes along, BUT I don't know the facts yet and as such DON'T pass judgement yet.

Let's wait & see. Either way, TriMet hangs him.
a) Eating while driving. Violation of an SOP.
b) carless driving. Violation of an SOP.
refused medical attention, so it's not that...woulda been worth that $50.00 AMR ride...just sayin..

YA who knows what he was doing when it happened....some people think he was drinking coffee

Al M said...

But then again he could have started choking-I used to drive those buses and it would cause me to start sneezing and coughing for no reason.

There's a lot of mold in those buses

Another valid point...guess a wait n see...

Al M said...

Rumor mill has it he is saying now that he was choking and 'passed out'.

Oh boy

Uh, the dog ate my paddle! Driver once whacked an Elm tree(no less) and wrote in the report,"Tree shouldn't have been there."My assumption is he was distracted(eating,etc.) goin' too fast- reacted--oops! too late! It'll be interesting to hear how he hit the barn ( or taught by Rock).

Hahaha...Funny coolbus!

I wonder if there were video cameras on that bus. A few of those old buses do. If there were, they'd answer a whole bunch of questions.

52 route is a piece of cake route.

He does not sound credible. When he says he was choking, he really does sound like he's making up the story as he goes along, the way a little kid does when he lies. There's probably no way to ever know if he choked, or just fell asleep.

He sounds like he's in shock, to me.

Mike has been dead for a few years ago. The driver you're hearing about had cancer.
