Default Bomb Threat on Greyhound Bus

http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/...QmD3gD9FHFN100

With the bomb threat in times square and now this one, the US (specifically New York city) seems to be getting more and more threats.

The driver, who police say got off the bus after he parked it on the side of the road, was being questioned. Seventeen people remained aboard, officials said.

That's sweet.

Wrong:

Homer: I saw this movie about a bus that had to SPEED around a city, keeping its SPEED over fifty, and if its SPEED dropped, it would explode! I think it was called "The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down."

Would be nice if the Feds took note of that and started directing more funding to security in NYC.

"No one was injured and "the hostages are being released and will be interviewed", said Nancy Marcotte of the Portsmouth Police Department.

The suspect remained aboard the bus and was surrounded, Ms Marcotte said."

"Joe Law, of Hudson, N.H., said he was walking toward his parked car when he saw the bus pull over. Law said the driver got off, ran to the back of the bus and pulled part of its back door down. He said the driver appeared to do something to disable the bus, then yelled, "get away from the bus" before running down the street."

Quite the bus driver.....

One man still on the bus last I read....
