    Good to see they attempted to use an air brake on the cable. All that glass in the bus just waiting to get hit!

    Would have been fun to see the red Suzuki try it

    Not the most professional of recoveries!

    Why didn't they use one of the trees as a pivot?
    Why did they recover forwards (surely going out backwards would be a better approach - with the afore mentioned pivot)?

    As for towing with the winch rope!!!!

    The problem is being a tour operator this guy was supposed to be a professional

    Saying that we were not there and don't know all of the circumstances involved.

    It was sooo funny watching him trying to get in the bus! Goose!

    This video should be titled "Attack of the flying winch cable."

    Makes you wonder how he got there in the first place... then again....

    Bloody lucky no-one got taken out, eh?

    Cheers, GQ

    G'day Folks
    The defender belonged to another operator going by the Service Provider "Q" No on the rear that is required to be displayed by all bus operators now, BUT BOTH of them should have been addiment in passenger and trafic control that is why there are "Accidents" caused by "She'll be Right" attitude.


    Rant Over.

    cheers.
