On my sisters last day in seattle we didn't have any major plans. She was going to sleep in while I cover black Friday madness at 4 in the morning. After I got home at around 10-12pm we were going to catch lunch, hang out around the city a tad, and then head out to the airport so that she could catch her 5:30pm flight back to Chicago.
Everything was going as planned until right after I got home and sent off my Black Friday photos I was called in on a bus crash that occurred on I-5. Turns out the Bellevue Football team's bus crashed on the way to the playoffs after a ladder fell off a truck in front of the bus which caused the crash.
A couple friends were able to use a Zip car and take my sister to the airport as I ended up covering the crash for quite a while. Luckily no one was seriously injured in the crash and in the end the game was just postponed. Turns out the team was actually wearing all of their football pads on the bus, that may have made the difference between an interesting story to tell their friends and a tragedy.
Thankfully I was able to meet my sister at the airport before her flight out.
As always, thanks for looking. Feedback welcome, have a great night.
Best,
Brad Vest
I had to fight through a jillion thorny bushes to get this picture. As I balanced with one foot clinging to the wet hillside and the other holding down a vicious raspberry bush I only got off about 5 frames before being herded back down the hill by Seattle's finest worried about my safety... I think it was worth it though, gotta get that overall shot somehow.
