A Chinese company is equipping its bus fleet with emergency bricks so passengers can make good their escape should an accident befall them.
The emergency bricks are painted yellow and marked “Emergency”, in case that is not obvious enough.
The bus company claims it had to take this expedient due to the fact that customers kept stealing its safety hammers; they are hopeful nobody will want to steal a brick, although this being China it is hard to be sure…

I want that brick
I think I'd rather steal an emergency brick than a hammer, honestly...
Best souvenir a foreigner can get!
i'd steal that brick
A brick works too sure, the hammers are relatively expensive, however they the hammers designed for use when a vehicle hits the water and being able to escape drowning. I'm not sure how effective the brick would be in a situation like that.
guess the car would sink even faster ^^
They ought to have guys standing on the bus holding them like that. Hell, I'd do it.
In my country, Mexico, a third world coutry, Buses and Subway wagons have an emergency lever on the windows, they usually unlock the whole frame to remove the glass...
And then I see this, shame on China.
It's imported from the US. Here in Canada, we got the same thing.
That's the point, even my country can afford that mechanism, and of course, no need to have a "spare hammer" on the wagons, unless they begin to steal the levers and/or the frames.
they are going to steal the wheels on the wagons if it is of any use for them.
lol
Such a nice bus souvenir...*steals*
We can steal enough bricks and make a house! End poverty!
And the bus company stole that brick from the great wall of China.
Shhhh, you're not supposed to let enyone know!
Anyone* damn typos.
By the time one of the passengers inside threw a brick for emergency purpose, ppl outside the bus would think that someone is starting a riot/demonstration..
Coming up next: Buses in China replaces safety yellow bricks for stones due to robbery.
Those crafty China-men are genius in solving any problems back home. If the thief is caught in the act, the other bricks can be brought out to stone 'em.
Instant justice on the local one 'o one!
now i want to steal the brick
Why the fuck would you need to steal a hammer? Fucking Chinese.
yeah fucking chinese
do you hate them too.
please join the us army.
one day we will kill them all
*begin sarcasm*
why wouldnt you steal one? i mean theyre so awesome-looking, shiny and its the perfect tool for pros!
me wants a safety brick chooooooooooooooo
*end sarcasm*
OMG BOOBS
chinese crazy
Oh crap! I've seen those things. I always used them to rest my feet on. Makes sense though. Those hammers are pretty cool.
This is soooo F*ing funny! Of all things. Bricks...
唉
你们就不会想一想
中国人那么多,
政府又腐败无能
纳税人的钱都到哪里去了
这些东西我们也只好自己解决
你们这些人不知道的就别说风凉话,
有本事你们出钱帮我们整吧.
Translation:
*sigh*
why don't you use your brain
there's too many people in PRC
the gov. there is absolutely **
the tax fees ends up in who knows where

lol the bricks will get stolen too, didn't 12 people die in China after 2 woman attempted to steal the bricks right off of a building and the building collapsed? its actually posted here on Sankaku xD
I would steal MANY bricks to build me a house.
Yellow house is pure WIN.
"when you see it you'll blahblahblah."
Cheap...just like what China produces
Well.
Cheapasses.
Another great feat in Chinese engineering!!!
their bus also.. less seat so more passenger...
they should don’t put even a single seat for the bus to optimize all space there...
Surely you don't expect the elderly and pregnant ladies to stand in a crowded bus...
No, he seriously doesn't expect the elderly and pregnant to be standing... But I'm pretty sure China does... XD
Genius! I guess if it can break the window then it works lol!
I've seen people steal those tiny metal mallet things on Arriva buses here in UK. Admittedly I was one of them when I was younger. All the rage back in school. Amazing little things, could break an entire glass pane at a phone booth with just a slight tap.
does a safety hammers so worthy to be stolen?
you can't use a safety hammer to knock in nails...
probably sold for part. melt the iron and plastic grip, that sort of thing.
Next weeks news: some folks built the first yellow house out of emergency bricks..
It can also work as a weapon against perverts on the bus! Two birds one brick!
If this doesn't work, just make a bus without windows.
Perfect for lazy people that want to go riot!
I shat bricks.
You shat bricks, i shat emergency bricks. i win.
i came bricks.
Sad that people steal the safety hammers tho...
Maybe just for fun.
and in the near future...
a house made of yellow emergency bricks shall rise!
Why would anybody steal a safety hammer? Maybe I have a lack of imagination, but I can't think of any use for them besides smashing glass. They don't make good hammers.
safety hammer look cooler than regular hammer.
and safty bricks are EVEN BETTER i wish they had them on scool busses, if they did alot of more cool shit would of went down back in high school.

They didn't have money for a dildo...
dude, just because sankaku posts chinese shit like this dosent mean you can say that
Dude, stop getting your panties in a wad over a harmless joke.
in china, anything that is worth any money is worth stealing.
In sweden they use safety hammers to smash windows at schools and busstops
I remember when I sat on a buss in Sweden, 3 Iraqi kids came in and swiped all the saftyhammers in the buss and walked out, nobody said anything.
