- krulz133, on 09/25/2008, -5/+161Poor elephant ... just look at the damage on that bus. It must have been quite an impact. Poor bus driver too ... no one seems to be caring much about him since they're all hyped up about the animal.
- GoKings, on 09/25/2008, -1/+125I didn't think that was disturbing at all. I expected to see elephant guts everywhere. I know it was dead, but it looked like it was sleeping...
- inactive, on 09/24/2008, -11/+130Makes you think about the tragedy of circuses in a different way. Not only are most animals mistreated but they really don't have any hope of change. When they escape they're just in the middle of an urban jungle. This is sad.
- Indierocka, on 09/25/2008, -0/+90He didn't
- Lula87, on 09/25/2008, -7/+93Circuses with animals are fecking retarded... Making a wild animal live in a boxcar while it is shipped from city to city and performing 7 times a week is just barbaric.
- gyuniku, on 09/25/2008, -5/+80really i didn't think it was that bad
- J3553, on 09/25/2008, -9/+81poor bus
- WordsnCollision, on 09/25/2008, -4/+73I drove into an elephant in my pyjamas one time. How he got into my pyjamas i'll never know.
- inactive, on 09/25/2008, -3/+58"Hey watch out there's an elephant in the road!"
"Yeah yeah sure, and pigs fl-" *CRASH* - BXRWXR, on 09/25/2008, -7/+59Why did the elephant cross the road?
- bixby1, on 09/25/2008, -3/+55not a happy sight...
- TheDHC, on 09/25/2008, -2/+45What kind of sick man laughs at a disabled bus
- 3toe, on 09/25/2008, -3/+40What part about that was disturbing...?
- K4Lic0, on 09/25/2008, -0/+35I didn't think it was disturbing either. Sad? yes, Tragic? yes, Disturbing? no...
- bananzaroo, on 09/25/2008, -0/+32What's disturbing is that I *instantly* clicked on the title since it had the descriptor "disturbing images" in it.
- Ladymongoose, on 09/25/2008, -3/+33To escape it's horrible life as a mistreated circus animal?
- inactive, on 09/25/2008, -14/+43It's pretty sad that our society cares more about an elephant than the bus driver...
- NigelSheldon, on 09/25/2008, -3/+31I've seen a horse fly, and I've seen a house fly,
... but I've never seen a elephant get hit by a bus, killing the driver. - inactive, on 09/25/2008, -0/+27Agreed. It's the natural cycle. Grass consumes nutrients. Elephants eat grass. Buses eat elephants.
- iatethecake, on 09/25/2008, -3/+30"Police at the scene said the bus driver stood no chance of missing the elephant." quoted from the third picture in the slide show.
I'm sorry but I care more about the bus driver, it seems to be a case of bad timing on both the bus (driver) and the elephant's part. - Ex3poo, on 09/25/2008, -4/+27poor republican :'(
- dracostimpy, on 09/25/2008, -1/+24TOO SOON. Good night, sweet bus.
- Ymeg, on 09/25/2008, -5/+23http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlPYikt_qvo
Also disturbing.
"Edison wanted to show the danger of alternating current because he was a representative for direct current." - RedneckRandy, on 09/25/2008, -1/+18Elephant steaks for everyone!
- ccb621, on 09/25/2008, -0/+16Actually, I think it's called death.
- jwolcott, on 09/25/2008, -1/+16Driver who?
Poor elephant...just look at him lying there... - inactive, on 09/25/2008, -0/+14@ dicky: inertia much?
- jwolcott, on 09/25/2008, -9/+23***** you, two of my friends died trying to put on their pyjamas.
- X9001, on 09/25/2008, -1/+13LSD, thats how
- pstroll, on 09/25/2008, -0/+11Well in all fairness the elephant was jaywalking
- jwolcott, on 09/25/2008, -3/+14I'm sorry, did I miss something here? Was the Bus the Elephant's pimp, and the Elephant wasn't ***** enough or something?
- fugazied, on 09/25/2008, -2/+12They need to end circuses where the animals are made to perform tricks at the threat of whipping or maltreatment. The idea of brutalising animals so humans get a chuckle out of a trick is so 20th century.
- djlethal, on 09/25/2008, -1/+11at all.
- s0nicfreak, on 09/26/2008, -0/+9Why would anyone care about the elephant, he was african.
- mactackle52, on 09/25/2008, -1/+10@Dicky
Except that a freakin' elephant is going to block both lanes of a two lane road, so how can you blame the guy? Not exactly like you can swerve around an elephant. - Tourniquet, on 09/25/2008, -1/+9Dicky you're not allowed to talk anymore...mmmk?
Glad we're on the same page now. - diablozx9, on 09/25/2008, -1/+9Dicky,, your not the brightest or you dont have much experience driving.
I hit a moose a few years ago.. - They are pretty friggin big also - By the time I saw it (Right after it jumped in front of me),, I hardly got my foot to the brake,, and ,, POW. The best brakes in the world and the best reaction times would never have avoided the moose incident I had. - Alli3388, on 09/25/2008, -1/+9Didn't do it on purpose.... I don't see any sob stories on Digg about PEOPLE who got hit by a bus!
- inactive, on 09/25/2008, -3/+10not really…
i guess all that time on /b/ has desensitized me… - EveryNameTaken, on 09/25/2008, -0/+7***** circuses. If there was some sort of machine in front of me with a "save an elephant" button, and a "save 10 people" button, I'd press the "elephant" button every damn time. Too many of those jerks around already.
- CuriousJohnson, on 09/25/2008, -1/+8Elephants are cognitive animals it was probably sick of being held in captivity and wanted to be free.
- douglasr007, on 09/25/2008, -2/+9Disturbing images?! *click*
Where are they? - Shizcake1337, on 09/25/2008, -0/+7The whole elephant?
- chickenloco, on 09/25/2008, -1/+8Horrific. Why large animals like that belong in the wild or at least a zoo with a somewhat natural environment- not being towed around on noisy roads for days at a time, then being chained up, and forced to perform.
- c0ncept, on 09/25/2008, -0/+7***** circuses.
- inactive, on 09/25/2008, -0/+7Looks like their bus ride was trunk-ated.
- h3llscaper, on 09/25/2008, -11/+17Still waiting on the whole "disturbing" part. That just looked like a dead elephant.
OOOooooOooOOOOH SCAAAaaaAAAAARRYYYYyyyy - dracostimpy, on 09/25/2008, -1/+7WAKE UP SHEELEPHANTS!
- diggenerate, on 09/25/2008, -0/+6well, you don't see that everyday.
