On Pike Place at Virginia:

Looks like the driver was already lightening the load.

What a maroon.

That's only the outside of the truck. It's probably carrying 40 different beers, not just Miller.

Remember this? Good times.

Smrt.

Of all the cross-streets one could choose for turning off Pike Place, this driver chose arguably the steepest of the lot. This is lulzy.

good thing it wasn't a fernet bus, eh skye?

LOL @3. I was thinking the same thing. At least this bus isn't hanging out in space over the freeway!!

bus, not full of beer unless the passengers are.

anyway, back the fuck up and go up western 2 blocks. no big.

I wish they would just close the market to traffic.

@8: It is when all the rear wheels are off the ground...

meant for @7; a message got deleted, I think.

I actually like Blue Moon, and Pilsner Urquell is decent enough.

Is that the same intersection where the bus almost plunged onto I-5 a year or so ago?

@12: Charles, you certainly don't seem to be in charge of Seattle geography. Or in charge of actually looking at the picture.

@13: the commenter who posted #12 might not live in Seattle, and perhaps he follows Slog and recalls the pics of the Thomas / I-5 bus mishap, but doesn't know the street names or where in the city these two incidents are in relation to each other. The pic in this post shows a hill, and #12 might be wondering if I-5 is just behind the bus out of the picture. If you don't know Seattle, it's a reasonable thought to have.

@12: No, the intersections are not the same. The spot in this pic is right next to Pike Place Market. The Market is directly behind the bus. The I-5 incident was about a mile away, further up the hill.
