TIL: "cold air" is ~54f.
- sp332 13y agoAt 54F ambient, wind chill at 40 MPH drops to just above freezing.
- ry0ohki 13y agoIt's the back window busted out though? So there wouldn't be a 40mph wind chill I don't think
- Crito 13y agoThe turbulence off the back of the bus could probably cause some significant wind inside of the bus, but 40mph wind certainly seems unlikely. Of course relative comfort had little to do with why the bus did not continue on it's route unphased. Even city buses would stop for that sort of thing.
- sp332 13y agoAh I didn't think of that. There's a different issue though which is that the exhaust will be pulled into the bus.
- jack-r-abbit 13y agoLook at the pictures. Those buses typically don't have a "back" window (the very back panel of the bus is not a window). It is not very clear in the photo of this article but others show very clearly that the smashed window was on the side, near the back, just above the rear wheels. Driving at freeway speed with that side window smashed out would be very windy and cold in that bus.
