You can see the tree clearly in picture 13, as well as the picture
18 I mentioned before. There are many similar trees at intervals all
along the street. Several of the pictures, like number 11, show how
trees dominate the skyline along there.


According to lots of witnesses the tree apparently fell down in front
of the bus while it was driving along. Monumental bad luck.


Trees don't fall in good weather. I suspect the branch got caught between
the bus and the tree-protection rail and the branch/tree was pulled over by
the bus. This may lead to all such rails being replaced by a solid
protruberence.
