Bus breaks into house




In Ilminster, Somerset (south-west England) a school bus smashed into a house while driving the kids inside the bus to school on a regular friday. The coach embedded itself into a front corner of the house, leaving the house on the brink of collapse. The bus carried 25 children between 13 and 18 to their school in Crewkerne. Fortunatly, everyone including the driver got out almost unharmed, except for one child with a cut lip. The occupants of the house were at home at the time but also got away unhurt.
The main problem at the moment is the fear that the house will collapse, since the bus really embedded itself in the house moving the walls about half an inch. At the moment, the fire brigade accompanied by a building inspector are working out how to get the bus out. A structural engineer was also called to assess the situation. The residents are currently hosted in a local hotel. The house probably won't be livable for a while.

Reaction:
Although it's a really awful situation for the residents of the house, I think it's a positive article because everyone got away pretty much unharmed. I think it's kind of funny actually, when visualizing the situation of a bus with it's front end in a house and lots of people around it figuring out how to get the damn thing out without the house falling on top of their heads. I figure it definitly shakes up the neighbourhood. Funny article!
