Videos What happens in a situation like this?

Entitled prick blocks a bus because she supposedly wasn't let on. A fire truck is behind - full lights blaring but refuses to move. No space for the truck to pass due to the congestion.

Would anything at all be able to be done? It's times like this that really piss and stress out firefighters, and I'm sorry people like this exist. Hopefully a big charge came her way, but nothing new as of yet as this happened yesterday I believe.

Open the door and let the passengers handle. Easy as.

I was on a bus in Italy once and we stopped because somebody illegally parked their Fiat in a way that prevented the bus from rounding a tight corner. The bus driver opened the door and a half-dozen guys got off the bus, flipped the car over onto the sidewalk to clear the route, got back on the bus, and we continued on our way.
