In the front and middle of the bus. The only
Ones to survive the accident were the Mexicans
WHo were placed at the back of
the bus, so that the Chinese
Did not have to inhale the
Dreadful smell from the toilets,
Which were never cleaned.
The story made the front page of The
New York Times for
Several days. Since the decapitated Chinese
Passengers and their families
had no ability to
Establish a bona fide reason
Not to be deported, the NYC Mayor
had to announce none would be
Placed in deportation proceedings,
So that the bodies could be
Identified. That evening, all the
Mexicans were back on a bus
To the casino to recoup their losses.
The lone Chinese survivor,
Claimed his knowledge of martial
Arts allowed him to avoid the
Metal moving around his body.
Count your blessings being sat
At the back of the bus, you'll
Avoid decapitation under
similar circumstances.
