Could you do this?

There is no way I would be in that bus. I would have to get out and walk.

The drivers/spotters want to go home too. That said, I would be out of the bus, watching from the corner ahead.

Don't think I'd want to go to wherever that bus was headed..

Well, if you don’t open the video, you can’t see the waterfall they have to drive through!

They have these things called helicopters now. I’m pretty sure a helicopter could get you to wherever that bus is headed...

One can only hope that it's a one way road.

And you think a helicopter maintained and flown by a person living in such a location is a safer bet?
