Correction on my blog post regarding Thunder Valley Buses

Yesterday I blogged about a Sacramento Bee article which stated that 10 of 13 buses owned by Thunder Valley Casino had been taken out of service due to violations found during a CHP inspection. Today however, the Bee has corrected its story as the buses in question were not in fact owned by the casino buy by "six or seven " charter companies and not the casino.

Today's article goes on to detail some of the 74 violations that were found. These included:

  1. Cracked wheels
  2. Loose lug nuts
  3. Brake deficiencies
  4. And in one case, finding that the emergency exit had been wired shut with a clothes hanger

Interestingly, the link to the prior Bee article discloses there error, while the online version of today's article does not mention it. I guess that passes for journalistic integrity these days.
