I have not got the link for this story, but you may have read about it today already. A bus driver in Mexico actually crashed his bus into an elephant killing both himself and it.

It seems the elephant had escaped from a circus nearby.

I think this is really bizarre as I have always thought of elephants being almost indestructable, what with their size and weight. Its also very sad really.

The bigger they are, the harder they fall.

A bus killing an elephant does sound odd. I would also think that an elephant can stand up to a bus but who knows. Too bad that both the animal and the driver were killed. The driver might not have seen the elephant coming. Elephants can run very fast.

I guess we finally know the answer to the age-old 'who would win in a bus v. elephant contest' - I would have never thought it would be the bus...

are you sure this is a legit story?

sounds kind of bogus to me.

Yes, I am sure, I heard about it on the international news and then read it again the same day on Yahoo news I think it was. I promise it is true. I saw the photos of the poor elephant in the road.

derrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Not necessarily.

Near the turn of the previous century, the famous circus elephant known as "Jumbo" was killed by being struck by a train in a railyard, while the circus train was stopped.

Oh crap there is an elephant in the rode I mean come on how do you miss that? Did it sneak up on him?

I don't know how anybody can miss that. Maybe he was coming around a curve on the wrong side of the road.

This is really awful.The zoo authorities must be blamed for this for taking poor care of the animals and even indirectly leading to their death.
