Magic School Bus Crashes; Driver Negligence Suspected
A panicked neighborhood watched as rescue workers pulled victims from the wreckage of a popular suburban Magical School bus.
"We're still trying to reason how and why this accident happened." Said Deputy Chief Richard Annett. "We're not ruling out witchery, terrorists, or record low ratings." The children were for the most part unharmed, although dazed and disappointed in a possibly intoxicated Ms. Frizzle. However, the well known, shape-shifting school bus/ time-machine would not be making anymore trips to the center of the sun, or inside a human body for that matter. "Nobody was ready for a catastrophe of this sort", local parent and PTA member Rita Cunningham said as she nervously kneaded a kitchen towel. Added Cunningham, "I thought it was supposed to be magic or something." Many neighborhood parents were somewhat relieved to hear of the grounding of the Magic School Bus. Fred Solarzic and his wife Nancy quickly rushed to the crash to find their daughter Alice; a bright young student who loves researching projects for school and competitive swimming. The couple had these words as they rushed their rattled child to their Tahoe; "We were wary about letting Alice take all these exotic field trips, but no sir, never again." Nodded Mrs. Solarzic in agreement, "darn tootin." Many children described the driver of the bus, an eccentric but well liked teacher Ms. Frizzle, as being characteristically confused and unfocused before and at the time of the crash. |
