Science News: Bus Gets Slammed By Tornado
A tornado warning was issued for southern Shelby County in northeast Missouri on Tuesday after one was spotted there. There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage. 1
On Nov. 25, a passenger bus driving in late-night rain veered across an interstate highway and collided with a tractor-trailer and a pickup truck, killing three people and the driver of the pickup. At least 21 others were hospitalized. 3
Reports say as many as 30 people could be hurt. Authorities say the injuries do not, do not appear to be life threatening and the bus is now on its side. 6
The shutdown order, issued last Friday, comes during one of the bus industry’s busiest times, the Christmas and New Year’s holidays. And Tornado is one of the largest bus lines in Dallas that caters to immigrants traveling to and from the Mexican border. 4
It is the last primary day. Voters are going to the polls right now in Montana and South Dakota, closing out six months of contests. Hillary Clinton is not giving up. Campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe tells CNN Clinton will keep going until someone has the numbers. He was reacting to an “Associated Press” story. It said Clinton was ready to acknowledge that Barack Obama has enough delegates to win at her post-primary rally tonight. 7
