Only if the bus burned and they were all reduced to ash.

Pocket Ninja: Only if the bus burned and they were all reduced to ash.

Or they're from Atlanta.

Without Jerry, the Dead just isn't the same.

Apparently, Fawkes is unavailable for comment.

Oh, and good headline, subby.

I, for one, welcome our new zombie tourist overlords.

Zombie blue haired bus tourists?
Slowest... zombies... ever.

They will gum you to death, while making horrible breathing noises and talking through their noses.

And they will have that funny old people smell of impending death.

FTFY ;)

BalugaJoe		2010-03-05 10:14:37 AM

I wonder what Sherrif Joe will arrest them for.

Raging Thespian		2010-03-05 10:14:50 AM

Where do they bury the resurrected?

Evil_ferret		2010-03-05 10:17:00 AM

From what I'm hearing the bus clipped a car and lost control. The semi people are saying hit the bus has no damage.

English your second language?

Greyhound couldn't find a better spokesperson to announce all this than BART GRAVES?

What's wrong with it? Semi people are AKA zombies. If you can't trust a zombie as an eye witness, who can you trust?

Prank Call of Cthulhu		2010-03-05 10:25:26 AM

Just a crash? No plunge? (new window)

Walker		2010-03-05 10:25:44 AM

At least 15 others, including two 11-year-olds and a 16-year-old, in the early morning accident on Interstate 10 about 25 miles south of Phoenix, according to Department of Public Safety spokesman Bart Graves.

What???? Can professional journalists not write comprehensible sentences anymore???

Jerry Garcia: Without Jerry, the Dead just isn't the same.

Brent's death hurt more for me, personally.

Some people think I'm weird because of that. I guess I feel that way because we always knew Jerry was on borrowed time.

I don't have a problem with zombies...yet. My lack of understanding was with the "hit the bus has no damage."

Shrugging Atlas		2010-03-05 10:27:44 AM

Subby, you shouldn't joke about the dead rising around here. We take that threat very seriously.

Is it just me, or is this one of the worst written wires you've ever seen?

1.) "At least 15 others, including two 11-year-olds and a 16-year-old, in the early morning accident on Interstate 10 about 25 miles south of Phoenix, according to Department of Public Safety spokesman Bart Graves."

2.) "The accident quickly scene became a mass of police..."
What's a quickly scene? It probably doesn't involve blue haired zombies.

I think someone forgot the predicate to their subject!

Their so stupid!!

I linked to a "live" feed. The article is being updated as information comes in. It doesn't excuse qualifiers being left out, but most likely someone is transcribing shorthand.

/yes, I am Subby

MooseBayou		2010-03-05 10:31:53 AM

Where will the survivors be buried?

CrazedHatter		2010-03-05 10:34:06 AM

Evil_ferret: From what I'm hearing the bus clipped a car and lost control. The semi which people are saying hit the bus ~~has~~ sustained no damage.

Clarified that for you...

NYRBill		2010-03-05 10:35:05 AM

"tour bus"? what band?

vishusdotcom		2010-03-05 10:35:25 AM

Someone say something about zombies (new window)?

We've been waiting for River Phoenix for almost two decades, so I wouldn't hold your breath.

turtleking		2010-03-05 10:36:57 AM

at least no one lost their head during the situation.

/by the time i get to phoenix

ga362		2010-03-05 10:38:01 AM

I love how reporters, during tragedys, always say the death toll is expected to rise.

As opposed to . . .

I always thought that was Ben Gay.

I'm glad this is so funny to you a-holes.

I agree some misfortunes are funny, but cracking stupid jokes within hours of 6 tragic deaths, maimed children?

Stay classy, Fark.

Here's some video (new window) of bodies being extracted from the wreckage for your lulz.

Anyone? The greatest bus movie ever.

The only thing worse than being a goth in Phoenix would be to be a zombie in Phoenix...at least during the summertime.

"Semi" is the subject of the sentence, not "people".

"Semi" is the subject of the sentence, not "people".

In that case, the verb should be "is," not "are," and "people," being the subject of the subordinate clause, should follow, rather than precede, the main verb:

"The semi is saying people hit the bus with no damage."

There. Fixed it.
