A double-decker bus carrying Philadelphia hip hop band The Roots, flipped over and crashed in Paris last night.
According to TMZ, not only did all the passengers survive, but drummer Ahmir “?uestluv” Thompson immediately blogged about it.
“Well...since we are sitting on the side of the road. What better way to pass the time while the ambulance come then [sic] to....blog,” Thompson wrote on The Roots website Okayplayer.
“The last things I remember are eating 2 pieces of cold pizza and a bowl of Rice Krispies and watching will Ferrel's nuts dance on top of John C. Riley's drumset in step brothers.”
Thompson says he then fell asleep.
“Next thing I knew was the most surreal feeling ever....was I upside down? Why am I covered in cereal? Oh shit....that coffee pot is coming for my face!!! In reality the crash was all of about 7 seconds....but to do a 360 on the highway and end up ramped up (the van that crashed into ours was UNDER our double decker bus) in the air....is....well...a frigging miracle.”
All members suffered only minor injuries.
