The Henry Hudson Parkway was built many years ago and was designed for passenger cars only. That is why to this day no trucks or commercial buses are allowed on the parkway. That being said, this ramp was not engineered for buses. New York City allows its own buses on many of these limited access highways and as you can see, the results can be very dangerous.
Bus winched to tree ---- I was like You are a FD, cut one of the boards to loosen the winch !! Great coverage Jon, and great work by those involved in getting bus removed from the wall.
Great video! They should have brought in a rotator wrecker. Put a sling under front of the bus and lifted it back onto the road. Would of been much easier.
I’m always surprised at how close they let you get to the scene. Where I live there would be yellow tape and a dozen cops keeping bystanders 100 yards away. Or do you have a media pass that allows you to get close?
We had a similar incident here recently. It was a city transit bus full of passengers and the driver had a heart attack and crashed through the side of the bridge. The bus was hanging halfway over the water and the shops underneath. The driver made a full recovery but it was pretty scary.
that tow truck guy definitely does not know how to rig you don't loop the cable back on just a shackle (even if that is just a cable to be sure it doesn't slide it will never hold if it did) you need a snatch block there to double up the line if your going to do that but they using at least a 50ton unit they should be able to drag that back with a single line not even set up in a 2part and get all those guys out of the kill zone cause that is waht gonna happen if for some reason that cable or any part of that rigging lets go that winch cable is can cut a tree down imagine what it can do to a person to get that front end over real simple can snatch block off the tree they tied it to and slide the front over sidewways away from the guardrail and wall but i am guessing these guy have never done heavy recovery they used to straight up tows what a shit show
Great coverage. You've got to love the press. You stand in one place and they just come in and push you out of the way. Also, they need a driver in the bus to turn the front wheels straight. The bus wants to turn over the wall. But what does a TH-cam junkie know about towing!!😎😂😂 And yes the front end steering may have been compromised.
Great work John. The News Media should enroll their camera people in the Majestirium1 camera persons course so they can get instruction on getting the best angles and other aspects of how to get the cover the FDNY. Stay safe Squad 99 members! 🚒🇺🇸
What a clown show. Those bus people need a little more training. Strap the steering wheel so the tires don’t move,and pull it straight out. Yes it’s a complicated process, use a little common sense. Love your videos John. Keep on keeping on.
Like I've said before, there is never a dull moment for the FDNY. Thank for the great coverage John.
YES, ALWAYS ACTION FILLED HERE.....THANKS SO MUCH BILL.....
Ok, can we admire the irony here, a bus hanging over the edge with a sign of 2 kids on a teeter totter 😂
INTERESTING INDEED.....THANKS SO MUCH.....
Love the new patch . Hope you are doing great. Stay warm my friend. Be safe
Thanks JJ for doing this video .. great footage..a lot of stone work damage..lucky no Fatalities..be safe
YOUR WELCOME AND ONCD AGAIN

WOW VERY INTERESTING INDEED.....THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS GREAT INFORMATION.....

I HEAR YA AND UNDERSTAND AND OF COURSE V
Another great video and commentary, John! BTW, that wasn't Ralph Kramden driving that bus, right? Lol
The towing company needs a rotator type truck. It could lift the front end back onto the road with much less damage. Great video John.
Those are MTA tow trucks. They're saving us money by doing it in-house! Though I wonder if this is their first off-road recovery.
nahh a medium duty will have that out in no time there is nothing to affect the front end the bus already took care of that!
my thoughts exactly, see on TH-cam, Ron Pratt, Midwest Towing... would have had that out and on the spec lift in twenty minutes.
@@mrbluesky2050 Or Pepe's from Los Angeles, a city where trucks seem to crash all the time.
Watching from Scotland in the uk Brilliant video. :)
I’m glad it wasn’t in midtown or anything traffic would have been crazy I still remember the water coming into the tunnel 😂😂
I TOTALLY AGREE.....THANKS SO MUCH.....
Great video! They should have brought in a rotator wrecker. Put a sling under front of the bus and lifted it back onto the road. Would of been much easier.
MAYBE.....I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT TOW TRUCKS BUT THANKS SO MUCH.....
The barrier did its work at least, another insight into the workings of FDNY, thanks for the video mate, stay safe
Great video John, just another example that FDNY has to be ready for anything. Good job all around.
Coolest video I loved that little portable ladder Was the bus driver speeding or ... --- Debbie
NO, SHE WAS NOT SPEEDING.....A DOUBLE PARKED CAR CAUSE SOME ISSUES I HEARD.....THANKS SO MUCH.....
Never a dull moment in NYC!!!!

media passes are not a real thing.
WOW!! Watching those to truck guys was painful to watch. They turned a simple recovery into a major project 🤦🤦🤦
Great job JJ and FDNY guys!👏
I AGREE GABOR AND OF COURSE THANKS SO MUCH.....

That makes for a great newspaper photo. Especially if someone arrived early and got the driver still inside.
You mean the woman driver who left the scene and the male driver who came and took her place!
Thanks JJ, the members resumes are huge. Nothing they are not willing to do.
Wow John. An excellent report of a very complex situation masterfully handled by all the agencies involved. Who says NYC is in tatters
Thanks for hanging out!😊
I like
the new badge!
Great video John .
But really do the recovery guys know what there doing ?? You need two rigs that bus would have been out no dramas
I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT TOWING SO I AM NOT SURE BUT THANKS SO MUCH DARREN.....
Great work John once again time for some grub see you soon
Great Job JJ
The Safety Supervisor should be repremanded for not stopping people fro crossing over wires.
I HEAR YA AND THANKS SO MUCH ROBERT.....
Why wouldn't they turn the front wheels to the left before pulling it out? Good video!
IDK BUT THANKS SO MUCH.....
Great work John. The News Media should enroll their camera people in the Majestirium1 camera persons course so they can get instruction on getting the best angles and other aspects of how to get the cover the FDNY. Stay safe Squad 99 members! 🚒🇺🇸
I'm surprised there isn't a thousand MTA people milling around out there.
WELL, DID YOU NOT SEE THEM? THERE WERE TONS OF THEM THERE.....THANKS SO MUCH.....
John that compartment on the left front has fuses,and electrical box,they got him out the window on the right side
This made the news in Salt Lake City.
YES, IT WNET NATIONAL INDEED.....THANKS SO MUCH.....
hey John .I missed where the Rac at? lol
SORRY, NO RAC ON A 2 & 2 ASSIGNMENT.....THANKS SO MUCH.....
This made CBS Evening news.
YES, TI DID INDEED.....THANKS SO MUCH.....
Thank you John. That was different.
Wow! This is different for you... The sun is out, its not snowing or raining..... Your feets won't get wet. 😁😁😁
I wonder if the driver had a medical emergency? If there wasn't extenuating circumstances, I would think that will be one EX bus driver. Sheesh!
All kinds of different ops lately. Dig the patch!!
I guess the bus went back in service and made its stops? Just a bit behind schedule…
NO, IT DID NOT....IT WENT TO THE SHOPS.....THANKS SO MUCH.....
Spare Ladder and Spare Engine 52😂
YUP.....THANKS SO MUCH.....
Not everyone is there!!!! They need a bricklayer!
how about use a 1 inch mine cable. a lot stronger.
IDK BUT THANKS SO MUCH.....
Yes Sir I have a question what are the orange tags on the back of the members coats by the collar? Thanks
Why would they need to rescue the driver from the front? Is the front compartment separated from the rest of the bus for driver safety?
Wow this was amazing so many agencies working together this could have been deadly if someone was walking below 2N2 my friend
I hope the tree gets paid firefighter-rescue wages.
Passengers please move to the rear of the bus
That driver now has new clothes on. Can u imagine. Too much boogydown for him.
What a clown show. Those bus people need a little more training. Strap the steering wheel so the tires don’t move,and pull it straight out. Yes it’s a complicated process, use a little common sense. Love your videos John. Keep on keeping on.
I guess I should have watched to the end.
I HEAR YA AND THANKS SO MUCH AND GLAD YOU ENJOY THE VIDEOS AND CHANNEL.....
