spacemtfan Posted March 20, 2008 Share 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.

astroworldfan1 Posted March 20, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disneylanddork50 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Wow. Crazy things happen. I didn't even know that DIsney had a charter bus like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PURE Posted March 20, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnewton34 Posted March 20, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VivaLaVibora Posted March 20, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted March 20, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercrazy216 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I am just blown away by all of the deaths and bad rep that Disney has been getting. Poor Disney . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PURE Posted March 21, 2008 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted March 21, 2008 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesdillaman Posted March 21, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
