Adventures of the B77 Bus.

The B77 winds through the Brooklyn neighborhoods of Red Hook and Park Slope. Along the way, it crosses the Gowanus Canal, you know, where the mob has been dumping bodies for around a century. On my way to work, the bus got stuck when the Gowanus started to overflow into 9th street

At around 45 seconds into the video, you can see the bus driver next to me, having abandoned his post, high and dry in the raised back section of the flooding bus. He said nothing to anyone the whole time. The passengers were interacting, however; one of those rare, beautiful moments of New Yorker camaraderie.
