It was like something out of Dante’s Inferno — only with steam and boiling water instead of fire. Unsuspecting passengers on a city bus in the Siberian town of Krasnoyarsk were waiting for police to direct the bus around a sinkhole. But then the vehicle dropped into the earth and boiling water and steam started to blast the vehicle from below. The driver was panic-struck and rescuers on the outside were smashing windows before the door was finally opened. You can see the screaming mayhem. Apparently, the weight of the bus was enough to break the underground pipe causing a stream of steam to blow through the undercarriage. The incident left 11 people injured, including five teenagers aged 16 to 17. Good old TTC.
