Bus Plunging Into The River Liffey?

Question

Hi,

Had this dream last night about being in a double decker bus going down along the Quays and when it when over the bridge it fell off and toppled into the Liffey. The last thing I remember before waking up was looking with dread out the window as the bus was plunging toward the river bed.

Funny, anytime Im on the bus and it seems to tip to one side going along the river, I always wonder if it might jut tip over and plunge into the lIffey.

My question is this:

Has this ever really happened can anyone tell me? Has a bus ever actually fallen into the river Liffey with passengers in it?

Well it must have happened at some stage?!

Answer 1

not the river liffey, but accidents like that have been portrayed in films

buses are designed to combat falling over by having a low centre of gravity so its hard to topple them over. the drivers are well trained, and dont go fast around tight bends which would cause the bus to tip over

so no, its probably never happened in real life

Answer 2

a double decker national express coach, toppled over on the M25/M4, at the start of this year, the driver was speeding doing 55mph instead of 40mph, unfortulately 2 people died- so buses can only topple over due to "Human Error"
