    They're having a bad month! Last week one of their buses had a blowout tire and crashed into a concrete pillar.

    Bad month? Don't they inspect those things? I thought it was a bomb. There are more pictures at the link below:

    Megabus catches fire near South Carolina-Georgia line; everyone evacuated, no injuries reported - @cbsatl

    Megabus catches fire on I-85 near SC-GA line

    Posted: Aug 08, 2012 1:35 PM EDT Updated: Aug 08, 2012 1:50 PM EDT


    A Megabus headed from Atlanta to Charlotte caught fire Wednesday afternoon, shutting down Interstate 85 northbound in Hart County, GA.

    Passengers told FOX Carolina that a tire blew and as the bus was trying to stop, something overheated and caught fire in the rear of the bus.

    The bus stopped near mile marker 179 just south of the South Carolina line about noon.

    There were about 50 passengers on board, including about 15 children. The driver and a few passengers helped everyone evacuate as the bus caught fire, passengers said.

    Firefighters are still battling the fire because of the ruptured diesel tank.

    Officials said because the tank ruptured, there is no threat of explosion, but until the fire is entirely extinguished, both northbound lanes will remain closed.

    No injuries were reported. FOX Carolina tried to speak with the bus driver who was not allowed to say anything.

    Passengers were taken on a school bus to a nearby restaurant to await for another Megabus to take them on to Charlotte.

    Stay with FOX Carolina and foxcarolina.com for more on this developing story.

    That plus the arson fires in OK, and who knows what else that we don't know about?

    And the bomb threat this morning at Walter Reed?

    Regular old poor Americans for the most part, I'm sure.

    Good luck with that theory...RPG would have left half the bus spread across the road.

    Along with it's occupants.
    Moses said to the children of Israel "pick up your shovel, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to the promised land". Roosevelt said, "Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a camel, this is the promised land". Now Obama has stolen your shovel, taxed your asses, raised the price of camels, and mortgaged the promised land!

    Me neither-it's just what I've sen on TV. You learn a lot of things like hiding behind a door or trash can is an effective bullet stopper and if you shoot a car it will explode.

    Good things to know.
