   A railroad crossing arm pierced a loaded school bus in South Los   
   Angeles, fire officials said Tuesday, but no major injuries were   
   reported.   
      
   The Los Angeles Fire Department received a call at 7:37 a.m.   
   about a traffic collision in the 1700 block of East 55th Street,   
   said Erick Scott, LAFD spokesman. A train crossing arm had gone   
   through the window of the bus.   
      
   It was unclear how many people were on the bus, Scott said.   
      
   "It was an unusual incident," Scott said. "At this point it   
   appears there were no injuries."   
      
   LAPD dispatched a unit to the location at 55th Long Beach   
   Avenue, said Officer Liliana Preciado. An ambulance had been   
   requested to treat for minor cuts, Preciado said.

   You can't make it 'foolproof' because some fool will find a way   
   to defeat it.

   Crossing arms come down. Crossing arm didn't spear the bus,...   
      
   The bus tried to commit suicide by stabbing itself after the arm   
   was down.   
      
   FIRE THE DRIVER!

   Um, don't the bells and flashing lights normally start several   
   seconds before the arm drops?
