NIAGARA FALLS -- Several tourists suffered minor injuries yesterday when the roof of their double-decker bus was sheared off while trying to cross the lower deck of a two-level bridge. The morning mishap occurred on the Whirlpool Rapids Bridge linking Niagara Falls, Ont., and Niagara Falls, N.Y.

The bus was carrying 29 Japanese tourists. Fifteen were taken to Greater Niagara General Hospital with minor injuries and several other were treated at the scene, Niagara Parks police said.

Anyone on that bus was extremely lucky. My aunt, in her role as a nurse, had to deal with the after effects of a bus that passed under a bridge significantly lower than that one. Grim.
