And how could it get over the edge of the bridge? I've never seen any bus taking a mid-trip leak like this. It's just weird.

Wait a minute, it could have been one of those metal mesh deals where you can see right through the bridge. I remember those being in Chicago.

This is an image of the kinzie street bridge.

It appears to be grating, as you said.

(For the drain master link, it's the last product on that page)

Good research job!

So the bus drivers flip a switch as they slow down and drive over the bridge. Bastards.

The good (and revolting) news is that the bridge grating probably filtered out any turds that would have otherwise have fallen onto the boat.

And the subsequent traffic would promptly disintigrate them...
