Yet Another Fung Wah Bus Crash

Speaking of cheap buses, a Fung Wah coach jumped onto a New York sidewalk this morning, killing a woman who was waiting to board.

Amazingly, this accident might not be the fault of the chronically safety-challenged company: A dump truck coming off the Manhattan Bridge rear-ended the bus as it was idling and propelled it onto the curb and into a bank.

A few other people were injured in the incident but not as many as when a Fung Wah bus flipped over in September 2006. That crash hurt 34 passengers who are probably content to take BoltBus these days.

Even when they're not trying to cause damage to humans and property alike, Fung Wah can't help but be the catalyst for disaster.

Ohhh schnap. I've totally been wedged up against the side of many a Fung Wah in the mass hysteria to board. Little did I know I was braving more than just lice to get to Boston.
