    The driver had been putting dry snow under the wheels in an attempt to get more traction. Most of the people doing that had been on the bus themselves.

    It was worth a shot.

    those goons were trying to help, theres more chance of grip in a bit of loose snow, than on compacted snow/ice

    Sorry, I can't see how that could have been helping the driver. Throwing loose snow at the wheels, sure it'll all just compact up even more. He needed some grocery shopping bags or something put down for him to get out of there.

    That's desperation for ya. This happened around three o'clock, I didn't get home til about half six. If only Dublin Bus would get some snow chains.

    Yah or those things that you can put around the tyres in place of snow chains, can't remember what they are called - snow socks is it?

    Ah here, my scale model RC car wouldn't have gotten grip on the amount of snow they were kicking at the bus! They just looked stupid.

    A seriously HUGE lol at 1:12 your one in the white jacket attempting to push the bus! Ha!
    still doesn't make them idiots or goons :confused:
