In Chicago this weekend and learned this little tidbit.

I was thinking of doing the architectural tour today and my friend told me about this. I can't even imagine how terrible that would be to experience.

On Sunday, August 8, 2004 at 1:18 p.m.,[6] bus driver Wohl drove over the Kinzie Street Bridge and emptied the contents of his bus's septic tank through the open metal grate intending to deposit it into the Chicago River below. The bus's tank was full, containing 800 pounds of human waste.
Earlier, passenger boat Chicago's Little Lady left Navy Pier at its 1:00 p.m. scheduled boat tour departure. While passing under the bridge, the boat received the full contents of the tank on the seats of its open-roof terrace. Roughly two-thirds of the 120 passengers aboard the tour boat were soaked.[7]
