Can this chicken bus make it across a waterfall?
One of the most common ways to economically transit in Central America is via chicken bus, a type of rebuilt school bus chock full of budget travelers, locals, livestock and anything else that can fit. And with rugged terrain and unpredictable weather, passage can often be a time consuming and difficult affair.
WyUtahMed over on Youtube captured one of these very instances in Nicaragua. With the road washed out by massive flooding, the chicken bus in this video effectively had to drive over a waterfall and risk being washed away to continue its journey, all while petrified passengers watched from inside. Take a look below, and remember this next time you want to complain about Greyhound.

They were floating for a bit. This is so stupid. Why would they not have waited for a few days until the flooding subsided. They wouldn't know for certain that the road/waterfall surface was not missing with that much water. Insanity.
