spacemtfan Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Disneyland Resort charter bus bursts into flames on freeway Disney bus bursts into flames in Cerritos Long Beach Press-Telegram A charter tour bus from Disneyland caught fire on the eastbound Artesia (91) Freeway in Cerritos Monday, causing traffic jams and forcing the passengers to walk to the next freeway exit, authorities said. The fire was reported at 4:08 p.m. A witness said passengers complained of smoke, and when the driver pulled over to investigate, the bus burst into flames. Almost two hours later, two lanes of the freeway were still blocked while towing equipment was called to take the disabled vehicle off the freeway, said California Highway Patrol Officer Jose Nunez. He said Disney arranged for another bus to pick up the passengers, and sent a representative to the scene. Disney sure knows how to heat things up. I mean that bus driver must been really burnin' rubber. It just goes to show that Disney can really light up any occasion. Seriously though, I hope everybody's alright.
ebl Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Sounds like Disney transit is the hottest thing going... Eric
astroworldfan1 Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Wow. Glad that nobody wasn't hurt. But, what is a Character Bus?? -Tatum
XII Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 ^It's a Charter Bus. Not a character bus. But wow, hope everyones all right.
astroworldfan1 Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Oh, thanks! I thought it said Character bus! I've never before heard something like this happen before at WDW and DL. Let's hope it doesn't happen again. -Tatum
disneylanddork50 Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Wow. Crazy things happen. I didn't even know that DIsney had a charter bus like that.
PURE Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Sounds like Disney transit is the hottest thing going... Eric You're too good at making these kind of jokes. Honestly, its gotta be a sin. Buses are buses, one reason I don't ride them. Cerritos on the 91, that's like...exactly where I live. 91 and Orangethorpe is where I'm at, it's basically 1 exit away. Surprised I didn't hear about this till now.
Skramp Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Disney sure knows how to heat things up. I mean that bus driver must been really burnin' rubber. It just goes to show that Disney can really light up any occasion. Dude, that was punny!!! Really punny!!
VivaLaVibora Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 ^^"Buses are buses, one reason I don't ride them." Your car can do the same exact thing.
VivaLaVibora Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 ^I know you are joking, but you never see smoke coming out of cars, and than it just sparks. It's the same thing.
robbalvey Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 ^ Hey, dude, can you maybe tone down the obnoxiousness of your posts? Thanks. --Robb
gnewton34 Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 I read it is a character too, heh. When I first read it though, I thought it said Disneyland Character Bursts Into Flames.
VivaLaVibora Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 ^ Hey, dude, can you maybe tone down the obnoxiousness of your posts? Thanks. --Robb I wasn't actually kidding. I've seen it on cops twice (the tv show- Yes, two car were burnt up!), and I definitely see cars that have smoke coming out of them too much. When smoke comes out of them, they become dangerous to drive. We are talking about the smoke that smells bad. It might have been this month I've seen one. It's a fact of life. Cars have problems, and buses have problems. They both breakdown. They are machines created by human beings. I was commenting on the person that said they will never ride buses because buses do things like this. Sorry, you thought I was joking around. I won't post anymore more about cars and buses in this topic.
robbalvey Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 ^ You missed my point. Your posts have been obnoxious and negative lately. I see that you read the PM I sent you, but I'm assuming you just ignored it? --Robb
coastercrazy216 Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 I am just blown away by all of the deaths and bad rep that Disney has been getting. Poor Disney .
PURE Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 ^Well, in my opinion they're slacking lately. I'm not saying they're being unsafe or that it has anything to do with these buses, but Disney is just not the same as it used to be. It just too big.
steel Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 I saw it as "Character" as well. That would have been so much better. That would totally ruin that kid's photo with Cinderella.
cfc Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 Sounds like Disney transit is the hottest thing going... Eric Was this actually a "Disney" bus, or just a charter that the resort happened to set up with an outside bus service?
jamesdillaman Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 ^ That's what I was wondering. Either way this has got to have Disney management hot under the collar. -James Dillaman
