In Seattle, a bus driver reminded all of us that a GPS is a co-pilot, not an auto-pilot. Apparently, the driver says he did not see the flashing lights indicating that the bridge had a 9 foot height limit. The GPS had given him the route, so he figured it was fine. The end result? The bus is now one ugly convertible.

On a positive note, it does not appear that anyone was seriously injured.
Sorry if someone posted this already.
9' - 0"
Strange, I can very plainly see the big, yellow 9' - 0" sign in the photo. Apparantly, the driver was reeeaaaly on auto-pilot!

re: 9' - 0"
Poor guy. He should have also invested in Lasik if he can't see the big yellow sign.
