"dear everyone. i have the unfortunate position here right now, to tell you the very sad fucking news that the bus is no longer going to newcastle.
we lost a driver,
we lost another driver,
impossible to do without a registered medium rigid license holder.

there is nothing we can do - this endeavour is too massive an undertaking to risk insurance issues and fines.

we, bus collective have done all we can and worked tirelessly over the last few weeks to bring this project to fruition and we are dissappointed it has ended this way.

for now.

thank-you for your support and interest. the bus will go on again and hopefully very soon. we hope you want to be on board again.

your tickets will be paid back to you in full over the next few days.

"hi all - as part of those responsible for the horrible tragedy which occured yesterday afternoon, i feel that it is my duty to sincerely apologise for the shame and trauma which we have brought upon us all.

"we can feel shame at being human in utterly trivial situations too: in the face of a great vulgarization of thinking, in the face of tv entertainment, of a ministerial speech, of "jolly people" gossiping. This is one of the most powerful incentives towards philosophy, and it's what makes all philosophy political"

"shit - Dario just told me that he hadn't passed on any info about the crash out of respect for Henry and Glen. However i feel that you all have a right to know. This is a monster to which we have all contributed. Our thoughts are with the families of those who were injured and are in hospital right now fighting for their lives. Here is the news report as it appeared on the fairfax website last night. Although not mentioned here we have recently been informed that we were extremely fortunate that more were not killed - it appears that the large amount of bread stored in the overhead lockers provided cushioning to some passengers during the rolling of the bus.

Bus Disaster Kills Two A bus has collided with a tree outside of Laverton this morning, killing two and injuring four, in one of the most horrific accidents of Grand final weekend. Henry Lyons (25), of Fitzroy and Glen Walton (24) of Northcote died in the blaze. Four other passengers were taken to hospital with severe injuries. Witnesses say that the bus rolled three times down a roadside embankment, before catching fire, as passengers struggled to escape. "It was Horrific", said Dario VaCirca (29), "none of them were able to get out. you could hear them screaming inside. It was just awful." On closer inspection, it has proven that the bus's break lines had been altered, rendering the vehicle incapable of properly stopping. Police and the fire department also attribute the blaze to a large number of gas bottle improperly stored in the bus's baggage compartment. The Bus, part of a project by several Melbourne based performance companies was on route to Newcastle’s This is Not Art Festival. The organisers have proven utterly blasé about the accident. "They'll be fine," said Mitchell Jones (21), a spokesman for the bus's tour to Newcastle. "this is just the beginning. In a couple of weeks we'll have a good laugh about this" Several have been arrested in regards to the bus's poor management, although no charges have yet been made. - Reuters

"Mitch it is not your part to air our dirty burning laundry in public. Keep your damn mouth shut you fool, we might still be able to get away with this. Everyone please ignore any other bus related correspondence. No really please! This email will no longer be accepting any correspondence. Furthermore i am going on an immediate holiday to Tahiti, i advise all those who have been involved in this despicable calamity to do the same as quickly as possible. Also, wear gloves, don't leave fingerprints for them to track.
Peace be with you all during these last few hours.

Let us all have a moment of silence. *tear*
