Transperth 1362 running 24T, exploded tyre..
Originally uploaded by theducks

Our journey into the city today was completed on foot, thanks to the front left tyre of our bus exploding as it went along Thomas St. Yay! It was actually pretty loud, the blowout being accompanied by a bunch of screaming from other passengers wondering what happened.

I think you meant to post this to the Perth Transperth Bus Spotters Group.

OOohoh excitement.

Completely separately, I saw the QANTAS plane with the different wing tips the other week (I was in a train, it was going overhead on approach to Tullermarine). I was all "Hey, they're the wing tips from the bright red 747".

Just wanted to share :D

Haha, I drove past that bus after that happenned.

The bus driver looked unimpressed (as did I, because changing lanes at that point to get around it was a pain in the arse).

Blowouts are really loud in cars to, or at least in mine, given I heard it over my music when doing 120km/h, so there was a lot of road noise too.
