Title: Re: Releasing payload in 3, 2, 1.. Post by Markoz on Oct 16th, 2013 at 2:14pm
That's pic looks like it was taken at the "Devils Marbles" NT, by the looks of it!
I was coming homer from school in the school bus, when a Road Train passed us and threw a rock (not a stone) at the windscreen! The bus driver put his hand in front of his face, but did not turn away, I dived onto the floor between my seat and the seat in front of me. The bus driver had the webbing between some of his fingers sliced through, and his hands were very bloody, he also had cuts in his face and head. So he saved us by maintaining control of the bus until he had pulled over to the side of the road. My friend, on the seat in front of me, was struck in the neck by the glass and was bleeding a lot. One girl got struck in her eye (and I mean her eyeball, not her eyelid) by the glass, but it was tiny and did not blind her in that eye. Other kids got cuts from the shattered windscreen as well, so it really was a bloody mess inside the bus. I only had bits of glass stuck in my hair and on my clothes. Phew! It was not a pleasant experience, but at least I was not hurt. The other two school buses from the RAAF Base stopped, and we were all transferred to them for the rest of the trip back to the base, including our driver. Our bus was left on the side of the road and was picked up by another driver later on. Glass was spread from the front of the bus all the way to the back. I couldn't believe that one windscreen had so much glass. It was unbelievable. So was I afraid of those Road Trains? Yes. You betcha I was! I never wanted one of those things passing me when I was riding my bike on the the Stuart Highway. I did ride my bike on that road a lot, but if I saw a Road Train coming, I was off into the bushes quick smart! |
