USA Today predicts *s disastrous future
Headline: DRIVER FATIGUE MAY BE BEHIND BUSH CRASH

http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2005-11-27-bus-overturns_x.htm?csp=24

SANTA MARIA, Calif. (AP) — A Greyhound bus drifted off a freeway, rolled and then slid at least 100 yards on its side before hitting a tree Sunday, killing a pregnant woman and another passenger, authorities said.

Officials said driver fatigue may have contributed to the crash. The previous night, the driver had traveled from Fresno to Los Angeles, then left Los Angeles shortly after 3 a.m. Sunday. He had been on the road for about four hours when the bus overturned.

3. Not meant to be cool

It is tragic that so many innocent deaths occurred at the hands of a nonfunctional driver. I wonder if the headline writer was doing some metaphorical editorializing about the nonfunctional "bush accident" that is driving the world over a cliff and has already killed untold thousands of innocents, including untold numbers of pregnant women. The headline was still up a few minutes ago.
