ADVISORY/Greyhound Service Stopped; Experts Available to Comment About Health of Transportation Industry.Business Editors ADVISORY... --(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 3, 2001 TOPIC: MSNBC reports that at least six people died this morning when a Greyhound bus crashed in central Tennessee, reportedly after a passenger attacked the driver. Although the FBI has been called into investigate, preliminary reports say this was an isolated incident and not part of a larger terrorist plot, the story said. The crash prompted Greyhound to halt all service nationwide as a precaution, pulling nearly 2,000 buses off the road and stranding thousands of passengers. Experts said they are unclear what effects such a shut down, paired with the airline hijackings of September 11, will have on the overall health of the transportation industry.
