Double-decker bus loses its roof in London

That had to have either been one hefty tree or one thinly built bus!

Lucky no one seems to have been badly hurt... The trees do look pretty solid in the pics. Driver not paying full attention, methinks!

LOL! Sliced clean off! Looks like a combination of a strong tree and a weak bus.

This has happened a couple of times where buses have been diverted and hit low railway bridges, in these instances i can understand why the roof might get ripped off.

I don't think i've ever seen a bus disintegrate after hitting a tree though, although actual damage from trees and branches happen more often than you would think!

Looks like the bus can now be used for sightseeing tours in Manhattan.
