WORKERS REMOVE WRECKED BUS AFTER PLUNGE OFF SEATTLE BRIDGE, 1998-11-28 (photo)

King Country Metro Bus employees work November 28 to tow away the wreckage of a Metro bus that plunged 60 feet off the Aurora Bridge in Seattle after its bus driver was shot in the arm by a passenger on November 27. There were 35 passengers on board the southbound articulated bus after its driver lost control of the vehicle, crossed oncoming northbound traffic, and then plowed through the concrete guardrail on the bridge to crash upon an occupied 8-unit apartment building below. The driver was pronounced dead on the scene after he was thrown from the bus, and one male passenger also died of gunshot wounds. APB/ME
