    When did you last check your wheel nuts?

    and later

    There's not much to say about what happened. I braked, the wheels came off and that was it.
    Any more laid back and he would be horizontal!!

      Bus lost it's back wheel outside my house last year when the bolts sheared, obviously due to them not checking the nuts enough. Wheel flew off hitting my neighbours wall and flew across the road just missing a polce car coming in the other direction, copper said of the wheel had hit the car it probably could have killed one of them such was the force. Bolts were flying about as well and could have taken someones head off.

      It was an el cheapo bus company with recks of buses run by a gangster for money laundering who I refused to use anyway. Shame I could not stop them driving up my road,

        He try's to steer away from the wall.
        Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

          Puts me in mind of the quote I read earlier from the captain of BA Flight 09 when all 4 engines on his 747 failed due to flying through volcanic ash...

          Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem. All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control. I trust you are not in too much distress.
          Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

            It's a cunning ploy to make formula one interesting. All teams will now be required to use clown cars.

                    The book is "All Four Engines Have Failed" if anyone is interested.
