Bus Rescue in Edmonton

Traffic in Edmonton comes to a standstill as a local bus and several cars get trapped under a railway bridge by floodwater

One of those stop-and-stare moments captured by a local filmmaker as the 34 bus gets rescued, along with a number of other motorists, from a flooded street in Edmonton, Enfield. Curious onlookers pack the street to catch a view of the dramatic rescue operation, while trains pass over the Silver Street rail bridge overhead and children boldly cycle through the deep water. All ends well, as the film ends with the bus being towed away by a lorry.
