Title Day 1: I opened my eyes, sitting up straight, only to realize that everything was turned 90 degrees to the right… …Next to us, a yellow school bus lies on its side. Pieces of glass scatters everywhere. Black smokes exit the cranky engine, traverse up to the height of an oak tree, then dissipate into the blue sky. The bus won’t ignite its fuel and start working. Blood spilt on the grass and on the bus walls. We try to shake and wake up the driver and our couch, but the responses were the two

Around 3:30pm on November 21st, a school bus with thirty-seven children crashed into a tree and flipped over. Seven elementary school children were killed and several were hospitalized in intensive care. This accident was all over news media outlets ranging from CNN to Buzzfeed.

The reoccurrence of the road and its timely appearance prompt a feeling of

An almost three-hundred and sixty degree view, yet I can’t see the road ahead because my eyes are focused on both horizons. One side constant, and one side flashes, the perfect balance between urban and rural. The Chicago skyline is barely visible in the rapidly falling sun, but the faint silhouette of the *Sears* tower remains as constant as the faux light that radiates from the surrounding sky. Directly

Losing your ability to control your speed while descending a steep mountain road isn't on any trucker's wish list. However, if you ever found yourself in that situation, a well placed runaway truck ramp would likely be at the top of your list.
