Woman gets heat exhaustion only 2 miles into a hike at Yosemite and has to be AIRLIFTED out. The group she was hiking with may be responsible for the $70,000 helicopter bill. Who should pay for the ride? The passenger? The hiking group? The taxpayers? My uneducated guess is the taxpayers.

Team Mitch released another Proof of Life pic. Looking pretty spy!

Colombia, por favor.

Wife went SCUBA diving. That's one way to avoid it. I did a few errands by foot, taxi and bus. Got home and enjoyed the air-conditioning.

Gotta have our Costco and Walmart close by. And LCBO too , just in case. 😀 Our oldest pensioner was 109 years old.

Right. If the parking brakes did not automatically engage, ( speaking as a CZ operator only, not a mechanic) it could indicate the operator did not apply the service brakes, until on the sidewalk.

Right. I suppose readers who want the law changed should write Queen's Park.

From riding with my Dad, there was a "Dead man" peddle by his right foot. That would throw the brakes into emergency. To be honest, I remember seeing it held down by non-human means. Now, they use a buzzer alert . I remember our subway mortormen had to hold the hand throttle down. But, if...

I have not seen it on a bus in my 35 year career. Didn’t see any brake lights in vid before going on the sidewalk. I ride MiWay a lot. Can't complain. It's a free ride for seniors and vets. You get what you pay for. Carrier or killer? Be nice when they finish the LRT.

So am I. My uncle introduced me to Mrs. Babe Ruth at Yankee Statium.

First bus I drove on the job was a 1961 GMC New Look aka "Fishbowl" . The GO train vs TTC collision near Danforth Road and Midland Avenue was also a Fishbowl. The rear-door treadle activated the accelerator-brake interlock system. The over-ride was out of the driver's reach. So, he had to...

As CZ operators , we had to complete a daily pre-trip inspection report before we left the yard. We had to carry it throughout the shift, and be prepared to hand it over , along with vehicle documentation, to police or Ministry of Transportation (MTO) enforcement officers on demand. So...

Hopefully, the driver performed, and documented , the air brake inspection at the yard .Before putting the bus In Service. The air brakes were tested by a mechanic(s) , after the collision, and found to be OK...

For reference to the discussion, the homicide rates , per capita , of major North American cities ,

This was in Mississauga. Not for me to judge, but a little bit surprised by the verdict.

Mitch is fine. Carry on.
