The wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round, 'round and 'round, 'round and .....***KERR.PLOP***
The driver on the bus says %$**^#

WLBT at its finest. Halfway through the story they report that 'there were no injuries' (as an aside, why would on expect injuries in a situation like this, but I digress). Then they close the story with a comment that they are investigating further to determine if there were any injuries, and where the SCHOOL BUS was going. (hint:maybe to school?)

CLICK BAIT! That is not a sink hole. It is a mud hole likely caused by a leaking water main or a storm drain pipe broke.

GMAFB!

That means that they initially didn't know if there were any injuries or where the bus was headed and then they updated the story later with those details once they found out. Hopefully that makes sense to you!

This city has a lot of problems. More than it can really handle and yet the issue with the Forest Hill Band has been on the front burner for them for 2 weeks. If the City leaders and community activists would display as much passion about the state of their city as they have with the “band issue” it might make a difference. But when you don’t really know what you’re doing then...well, this is what you have. A stagnant city that cannot dig itself out of a hole that it’s in. It’s a lose/lose situation for them. Our Flagship City, what can I say. I have watched for 4 consecutive days as the City has worked on a water and sewer leak on North President Street. Privatization of repairs would be the smart thing to do. What has taken 4 days, and the Street is just filled now with gravel, would take a private contractor 1 day. But, you know that minority participation thing......that would have to be addressed.

The City fathers (and mothers) are developing a strategic plan to hold “listening sessions” regarding what might be done about the potholes. Then, a committee will be appointed to hire a consultant to study the situation while insuring that all have a seat at the table to analyze how the city might consider various approaches to further study that focuses on inclusion to insure that all people have a voice in the pothole strategy.

Just throw some bottles and rocks under there for traction

FREE THE BUS BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY!

I read 12:55's comments three times and I'm still not sure if that's a joke. That's how dysfunctional this city's leadership has become.

Every time I hear someone call this a sinkhole I feel like Deniro in Meet the Parents...”that Bob is our sh$&!”

Wait a minute, word on the street is that the JPS bus driver and its student passengers were reenacting a scene from the movie Speed. So inappropriate.

The City Council is going to audit this bus and get to the bottom of what happened.

Shad White has just announced that a bully onboard was stealing several classmates' lunch money. Great work, Shadrock!

@2:51...and a demand letter has been sent to Metro PCS where the ill-gotten gains were used.

If the bus was filled with band members on their way to embarrass the city again, then the sinkhole served a good purpose.

There is a lie hidden in the story that you all overlooked. 'A barricade was in place'. That's a lie. There was no barricade put there, ever. Barricade's don't just disappear. The maintenance crew thought they had tamped down the mud sufficiently to support a small sedan. At least one head should roll.

Repairing a "sinkhole" caused by a water leak is entirely different from repairing a pothole. Fillings exist that can repair, evenly, pot holes and that filling is made in Mississippi. Other towns are using it.

1255 for mayor.

@12:55 PM, don't forget the "Blue Ribbon Commission," with live coverage on C-SPAN for days, followed by a 2,500 page report that will be filed away for eternity.
