The Wheels on the Bus Go 'Round and 'Round

This just in: I'm sitting in the WiB office trying to work. Concentration level: Medium. We all hear a loud, horrible, smashing noise through the balcony doors. L and I jump up to see what happened. Concentration level: Quickly falling. Apparently, the wheels on one Belgrade city bus went 'round and 'round until they ran into the small shop directly across from us. The bus continues to make steaming noises (without steam appearing), the police continue to stand around and take notes, the shop owners continue to wave their hands around, and pedestrians continue to stop by to pull out their mobile phones to take pictures. The bus had knocked over two garbage dumpsters before running into the building. A car parallel parked on the sidewalk (where the bus 'parked' itself) seems to miraculously survived. Unfortunately, the bus ran into on of the photo shops directly across our office rather than one of the erotic shops directly across our office. Concentration level: Gone.

L just left for home a few minutes ago. She stopped by the shop to look in and see the damage (concerned citizen alert). She then yelled up to M and I (standing on the balcony awaiting her assessment) that the wall inside was destroyed (visible damage from the outside was serious roof damage and some wall damage). She also informed us (street to balcony information is reliable and efficient) that the bus ran into the building on its own. The driver apparently was in a nearby shop using the restroom facilities.
