it does seem pretty stupid… they weren’t being disruptive. if they had brought a boom box and refused to leave, then fine, arrest them. the police seem a bit power hungry.

most of these are in NYC, which is completely unsurprising to me. i mean, i know that the mcdonalds across from the nederlander is insane, and the whole foods in columbus circle, and the barnes and noble in union square is enormous.

i remember reading that beijing brought in translators to go around and fix their signs so that they wouldn’t be embarrassed during the olympics.

i guess that kid paid attention during the bus drills that happen a couple of times a year, because i don’t think i would have remembered to pull the emergency break during a real problem like this. and, once that didn’t work, i wouldn’t have ever thought to drive the bus into something to stop it. although, i’ve never had to think quickly in an emergency like this so i’m not sure how i would really react.
