Bus wreck

[bartolomeonew]

Yeah... people loves to call others idiots, morons etc. and you dumbasses have no clue why the bus goes that way. Just realize, that this is just a normal route for this bus! There is no bridge there (just foot bridge only). I've been there and this bus took me through the river nice and dry.

[jrokr20]

And you were thinking ???

[boricla]

drive frint engined bus straight into water, nose first...brilliant



[ka4172]

is this a 4x4 bus on a regular busroute?

[TraustiGeir]

@ka4172 Sure is.

[47485ksc]

I don't know if there was anybody other than driver, but, MORONS! All busses have at least one roof escape hatch. This appeared to have 2. Get on roof, jump to shore. I know, too simple.

[TraustiGeir]

@47485ksc Do you really believe the stuff you're typing?

[bestbet100]

[hombrekmata]

Wt was he expecting???

[sewallm60]

[bestposted]

I bet his ass got Fired

[Henri2902]

tractor can drive on water? wat

[philtripe]

they have this new thing now...called a bridge

[philtripe]

@TraustiGeir im sure we have more washes with no bridges in az...personally i never take chances and honestly i was trying to be funny

[TraustiGeir]

@philtripe Sorry about that, I can be a...well, you know. "az"? Are talking about Arizona?

[robstrevor]

Did that dumbass really think he could make it?! haha

[tom201090]

@robstrevor actually in Iceland 4 x 4 bus tours and routes aren't out of the ordinary. Obviously the driver did think he could make it and he would have been on some form of 'road'

[NEXUSnetsoft]

@robstrevor of course he did because there are several busses that go the Thörsmörk-route through the Krossa daily. This guy simply had bad luck in this moment. If you ever visit Iceland and take one of the highland busroutes you wouldn´t write like this. The drivers are pretty experienced and the busses are actually all-wheel-drived Mercedes trucks with a bus chassis on top. These things go places, where normal Jeeps and Landies can´t go - it´s pretty impressive.

[TraustiGeir]

@robstrevor They make it every day.

[Lukas55435]

pech gehabt.auch du scheiße

[aminesix]

some drives will do anything to stick to the timetable

[bamasteve94]

god this is the 3rd video so far that i have saw that has has the numbers 666 as views and i mean the first 3 numbers!

[DeadlyThrashViking]

That guy probably got fired

[Bamananatic]

Stupid driver. You are supposed to drive on the road, not in the river.

[erdsicht]

@Bamananatic This IS a road. Well, an Icelandic one, at least.

[skylercourney]

Erm....exactly what was this bus driver trying to accomplish?

[justinlynch3]

@Quellepaur I have no idea.

[TraustiGeir]

@Quellepaur Are you seriously looking for an honest answer?

[Quellepaur]

@TraustiGeir Nope

[danieljuliolanyon]

lol ._.

[LinnTractorNut]

OK Everyone out and PUSH!

[aukanmeister]

I had a close call in this river as well. On a Motorcycle..

[Frediem16]

Why was that bus trying to ford a river?

[oskarsteinn]

@Frediem16 Buses cross that river all the time. This guy got unlucky.

[erdsicht]

@Frediem16 That's because there are no bridges in Iceland and fording is the way you go for it. Krossà isn't easy to cross. It took our driver quite a while to find a way through it. Next day on our way back, he had to find a new one again. River had changed its bed in the meanwhile. That Iceland, mate!

[tosso11]

@Frediem16 to get on the other side I think  -_-

[barliman2001]

@Frediem16 Because there is no other way to Thorsmörk. No bridges in Iceland except (a few) on the #1 Ring Road. All the rest looks like that!

[bartolomeonew]

@Frediem16 because this is normal route, it goes trough the river few times a day...

[jorcol99]

It took several hours to pull the bus out of the river, that was around 3 am... too late.

[robertgift]

Passable before?

Why not show it being pulled out?

[noob8]

clever

[TPM75108]

That should be on the failblog if it isn't already

[65Kingbird]

Love the music - what is it ?

[gotcha671]

That's why it still have the advert on pop tart :May be hot if you heat them !!

[ReiMomo]

Short cut fail.

[TraustiGeir]

@1flattyre No, there isn't.

[83dubbie]

What the point in this?

[crazydevil360]

did water get in buss?

[nov3019892008]

whys that fool driving in the river in the first place you wankstain

[TraustiGeir]

@nov3019892008 The same reason why the chicken crossed the street.

[ap0calypt1ca]

Another Darwin Award winner! Congrats!

[TraustiGeir]

@ap0calypt1ca He doesn't qualify.

[defiant18]

what was the driver drunk???..what made him think he could get thru....so did the tractor manage to pull him out?

[TraustiGeir]

@defiant18 1. No, he wasn't drunk. 2. The fact that he does it for a living. 3. Yes, the tractor got him out.

[fredyzen]

q huebonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[eloireu]

o motorista so pode ser louko.....

[LIGHTRONIX]

Caulk the bus and float it, or attempt to ford the river?

Ooh wrong choice because you have become stuck in the mud. Lose 1 day.

...should have gotten rid of those extra wagon axles.

[naltrexone23X]

@LIGHTRONIX Hahaha...too many kids are way too young to know how funny that is. Too bad for them.

[6202007]

I think i got to go visit iceland now just to see that

[HeKuTK0]

wtf?? lol

[misieq710]

o shit

[NVMDSTEvil]

looks like they should build a 4x4 bus with bigger tires and a bit of lift..

[TraustiGeir]

@NVMDSTEvil They have those, but I'm not sure if that's one of them.

[NVMDSTEvil]

@TraustiGeir its not one of them..

[TheNifras]

awsome



[hassanhwg]

tractor add:D

[daniglue]

I've been to Iceland this summer and passed over there with THAT (same company Reykjavik Excursions) bus.

To all of those who are asking "what is a bus doing there?".

There is no other way for tourists (or even Icelandic people) to reach certain places. There are no bridges or "normal" street in the center of Iceland.

Bus drivers are great over there; they sometimes drive for 10 hours in a row through "streets" like the one on this video.

[uminchu7th]

Big question.. WHY did he do that?

[TraustiGeir]

@uminchu7th Because it's his job.

[HelmetVanga]

this road withour a bridge looks like many in Bolivia where drivers do the unthinkable.

[TheRadioguy500]

What the hell is the bus doing over there? I didn't see one paved road.

[TraustiGeir]

@TheRadioguy500 To get to certain Icelandic destinations, tourists need to use these.

[extremelytriumphant]

woops!

[paintballmoreyo]

Hahaha iceland is awesome

[kingofkeyboards]

haha something dumb like this happens who's gonna save the day? not the police, not a fire service but farmer jones!

[kingofkeyboards]

@TraustiGeir was a joke mate ;D

[TraustiGeir]

@kingofkeyboards I know. :)

[mackc6r]

I think the driver started tripping when the bus started to float around

[isilder]

If they can afford to have a tractor on standby, then surely they could install temporary bridges and NOT HAVE THE TRACTOR

[mrcvry]

@isilder Bridges are worthless because the river is moving around and never the same.

[TraustiGeir]

@isilder Are you comparing bridges with a tractor in terms of cost-effectiveness?

[matt48726]

well thats one way to build a dam

[pennaveski88]

er rutubilstjorinn retard eda hvad eg meina hvad i fjandanum er hann ad gera thatna og lika hvernig dettur honum i hug ad keira thangad uti ?

[TraustiGeir]

@pennaveski88 Þú ferð ekki mikið út á land, er það nokkuð?

[296jayce]

they really need to build a bridge, it can help

[Einargizz]

@296jayce

No can do. The rivers are constantly shifting in that area. This path takes you into a uninhabited valley so it's not cost productive to start a big road project that can deal with that issue. That valley happens to be a pretty location so tourists like to go there from time to time.

[esponert105]

stupid driver

[oskarsteinn]

The tractor at 1:28 is the Icelandic rescue unit.

[OrencoHakira]

Thats one beefy tractor.

[platinumsalamander]

well DUUUUUUUUH

[picholeon]

[SPS148669]

[lensen639]

This is why you don't go driving when you are drunk. Things like this happen

[nitrorager]

this music makes it soo intense but its rly not.

[gudnythora97]

that is krossá i go often to Þórsmrk and i am never scared when i cross the river and it's so fun in þósrmörk and my ant works there and she has sometimes taken me for a ride in the tractor !

[warsaw28]

Exaclty, what was a bus doing out there.

[TraustiGeir]

@warsaw28 His job.

[ForeverStarWars]

At least put some damn Radials on it before you go off road sheesh.

[1873qwerty]

how dumb can you be

[TraustiGeir]

@1873qwerty Depends, how dumb are you at work?

[GoldenSlurpee]

Fail

[wingnut9090]

Looks like driver did try to take a run at it. Too funny.

[Dariusz31]

lol, you have no bridges over rives in iceland ?

[benjimin44]

No they can't afford them....even after destroying uk investments!

[TraustiGeir]

@benjimin44 Get some education.

[TraustiGeir]

@Dariusz31 Sure we do.

[apb0309]

what is a bus doing out there?

[pahico]

It's in the highlands, and most of these tormenting rivers up there are of glacial origin and are highly unstable, so bridges are not expected to last long !

It happened a few years back near the sea, the 'Grímsvötn' sub-glacial volcano under Vatnajökull erupted releasing a huuuge amount of water into the river, making it for several days the second most powerful river in the world :O, destroying several bridges, which is why they're not built except necessary.

[pahico]

Oh, and why go there? to DIIIEE

--It's also shorter than following the nice lowland roads, might save some time if going far.

The bus was probably on some tourist trip to some place, which might explain it's presence

[pahico]

Oh, and I just realised that this is in Þórsmörk! The bus was probably going there.. Popular among tourists and Icelanders alike, so that "road" is probably commonly used.

[MrTmagj]

で？

[Edeiceland93]

I remember when I went over that river with my class mates last year, almost got stuck aswell

[jdean9]

what's this music ?

[jorcol99]

It's from a hungarian band named "After Crying", I believe the theme is "Manók Tanca" from the album "De Profundis".

[jdean9]

thanks alot!

[sideslide23]

JAWS.

[jackuy12345]

the bus driver is a dumbass

[TraustiGeir]

@jackuy12345 No he isn't.

[ilikefire90]

should have gone faster and hydroplained it

[ShudeBwerkin]

LOL NEEDS MORE COWBELL!!

[itakeyouthere]

Oh shucks, was that water?

[tinytim911]

dumasses these days

[kaa3164]

don't use an insult you can't type correctly.

[BongoOldChap]

Dont correct others if you cant punctuate or use capital letters in your youtube diatribe.

[lawrence18uk]

einar414 - thank you for letting us in to your country's 'different' culture! I think there are a lot of rivers around there in general...

[einar414]

He is not a idiot, he is doing his job, the company that owns the bus has a daily schedule during the summer there but the "road" has no bridges so he has to drive in  the rivers to get there and sometimes this happends. The tractor who you see in the video is placed there to help if something like this happens. This is not dangerous for people a big bus but there have be some serious accidents in smaller 4x4 cars. You have to cross 20-25 rivers to get there, mostly small but 4 of them are big.

[BongoOldChap]

uuuh here in the uk we have these new fangled inventions called 'bridges', you might want to have a google search for 'bridge' and pass it on to your goverment

[einar414]

Don't worry, we have a lot of bridges but this place has a sort of "adventure + nature" theme and I think that many people would thin that it would take away the charm if you would build a highway.

To go to this place is an adventure and a challenge but maybe you don't know that in the UK, you might want to "google" that. :)

[BongoOldChap]

aaah yes, we have adventure here too, try googling snowdon, allthough im yet to see a dumbass trying to drive up it, adventure and nature best experienced in your country from the luxury of a well padded coach seat? sounds exciting

[kaa3164]

that place is ment to be untouched. if you want to build a bridge over a lake that shallow you would have to make the banks higher. the river would get incredibly dirty and the place would simply be ugly.

[BongoOldChap]

untouched, so you drive a busload of twatty tourists around it? repeatedly seeing as the tractor is there on call to tow them out? perhaps it would be better if buses didnt go there in the 1st place or maybe youre just a fuckwit?

[kaa3164]

the tourists are one of the reasons for it to be untouched and they won't come if they can't go. It is rare that buses can't go through that but it's only for 4wd.

and you are an asshole.

[BongoOldChap]

yeah I know, now fuck off

[kaa3164]

you're pathetic.

[45ccd]

@einar414 oh yeah of course. right.. hes not an idiot. yep.

[hao221]

@einar414 guess his boss is quite happy now

[Kaynos]

What an idiot

[42OKing69]

wow was he realy trying to do that

[uuyittn]

is that really normal? i may be a sheltered american but that doesnt seem right

[6V92TA]

[siggibc]
