StrangePlans for First Rotating Skyscraper UnveiledPlans for First Rotating Skyscraper UnveiledThe Associated PressAn Italian architect said he is poised to start construction on a new skyscraper in Dubai that will be "the world's first building in motion, an 80-story tower with revolving floors that give it an ever-shifting shape. (June 25)It may look like something out of a science fiction movie....But Italian architect David Fisher showed up in New York Tuesday, saying that he was poised to build the world's first moving building in Dubai. SOT: David Fisher, Architect and Creator of Dynamic Tower: "First of all, it's the first building that is being, that is dynamic, changing the shape. You can adjust the shape the way you like every given moment.The model being pitched is an 80-story skyscraper with revolving floors ... That would provide residents with a constantly changing view of the Persian Gulf.A few apartments that would take up entire floors would be able to spin on command ---while the rest of the building rotated in patterns that could be altered over time.SOT Fisher: It's designed by life, shaped by time.But movement isn't the only unique feature about this building --- Designers say they plan to build it all in a factory in Italy.... When its complete, they'll ship the structure to Dubai...where they hope it will be ready for offices and residents by 2010.And for those of you worried about getting dizzy?....Fisher says not to worry....he says the rotations will be slow enough that they won't be noticed. ___ ___, The Associated Press.
Hey Buski,
A-ha, i see, now i understand !!!
Der ti.,
That's so funny; imagine getting on the bus, and sitting in the back for Tulse Hill and the front for Stockwell.

Cheers.

Dear go.,
Thanks for responding; that is a good story.
.
It is a difficult job especially when the traffic is bad -the day goes boringly slowly for them.
.
There are lots of people running late for work and other appointments -all the time; it is unfair that bus drivers, (or bus conductors, in their day) have to put up with being blamed for missed appointments, because of all the sleepy-heads passengers.

Cheers.

no I lived in canberwell for 3 years and seen people jumping on and off when the hit squad came on the bus some times the driver would tell people first that the hit squad was at next bus stop? that is when people jump off

Dear Tr.,
Haven't you thought that the driver is a woman?

Yeahm it;s a great system. I use it for free too. But then you might think not enough money is being mad. But again, the great system - Get 10 tranport police, that should be protecting us, to wait at a bus stop along a busy route late at night when people are drunk. And fine all those without tickets £100. Red Ken had some great ideas.

By Trusten1984 [Affiliate User] 1211475878 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThe articulated busses we used to have around here did have steerable wheels at the back: made them veery moveable in turns... now, with Arriva, the busses S**k in taking turns, as the motor is in the back of the bus, and the wheels aren't steering anymore.

By tigerlxxv [Affiliate User] 1207692522 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThat is what I said, this video starts after the facts so we do not know exactly what happened. However, it doesnt matter what anyone tells this driver, he/she is solely responsible for how they drive the bus. The driver could very well be stupid or not, there is not enough information in this short clip to prove anything.
I do not know anyone that hates bus drivers, they do a job many do not want and usually for little pay.
Im sorry but we still don't know the full facts, and until we do then we cannot call him/her stupid. In that job there are many circumstances that can happen. It isn't easy to do a U-turn in an articulated bus, maybe bus control told this driver a road up ahead was blocked etc etc People hate bus drivers for whatever reasons but most are unjustified. Step into their shoes then you'll know what is really going on, until then, leave them alone.
By homeralone [Affiliate User] 1206730898 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveYou know I would agree with you, however when you take a job as this one, the driver needs to know exactly what his/her vehicle can do. This video comes in pretty late to see what exactly happened as I would have to think the driver would have to know that this bus could in no way make a u-turn like that.
