Five people injured after London bus gets its roof ripped off.

Passengers on a double-decker bus which had its roof ripped off by a tree have told how they thought the vehicle had been targeted by a bomb.
Startled passengers have told how the tree's branches cut through the vehicle 'like a knife through butter', scraping off the bus's roof to leave upper-floor seats and handrails visible outside.
Five people were injured in the 'freak accident' on the 91 bus in Kingsway, Holborn, with one man left with a broken nose. One woman, sitting on the lower deck, said she thought the crashing she heard had been caused by a bomb.

  The bus was going down towards the college when I heard a big bang and felt a jolt and the bus came to a halt,' said Darcey Delaproser, a full-time carer.'I thought it could have been a bomb. I didn't expect it.
'We could see wires coming down the stairs. A fellow passenger and I went up the stairs to see what had happened. That's when I knew the roof had come off.'The whole thing was cut off as though it had been sliced by a knife, like a knife through butter. If there had been anyone standing up on the top deck, they wouldn't stand a chance.'
The 51-year-old said there were five to six people on the top deck and about 12 or 13 people on the bottom.
 'It's a good thing the bus was quite empty, otherwise it could have been a lot worse.
'I saw one man with blood pouring from his nose get down of the top deck.. An elderly couple were on the top deck, they were in shock.'There was a woman at the back, she was in shock. I think she was injured.
'I'm still in shock, I'm still trying to get my head around it. I'm definitely very lucky to be ok.'
Builder Billy Comfort, 21, who was working across the road from the scene, said: 'I saw the bus drive into a tree and the roof came off.'It was a bit shocking really.'
Llewelyn Hill was sitting on the bus's upper deck when the tree crashed through the windows.
Shards of glass from the windows of the bus littered the road, with the roof trailing behind the vehicle at an angle, as stunned passengers were seen still sitting on the ruined top deck.
Two people had to be taken to hospital with facial injuries, one with a broken nose, while another three were treated at the scene - next to a sign warning of overhanging trees.
They were both discharged this afternoon from St Thomas's Hospital after receiving treatment for minor head injuries. A London Ambulance Service spokesman said: 'We treated five patients. We treated two patients for facial injuries, they were taken to St Thomas's Hospital.
'We treated two patients for minor injuries, they were not taken to hospital. We treated another patient for a knee injury. This patient was discharged at the scene.'
London Fire Brigade was called to Kingsway at around 1.10pm. The Brigade said on Twitter: 'We are at the scene of an accident on #Kingsway Holborn. A bus has lost its roof. Thankfully only minor injuries.'
At the scene London Fire Brigade station manager Gary Squires said: 'Those involved were very lucky to escape serious injury.'He added: 'You can see the missing bark from the tree and the roof has come up and off the bus.'This is a very unusual incident. It is a freak accident.'
  Mr Squires said a man sitting on the top deck was left with a suspected broken nose while another passenger was taken to hospital with injuries to the side of their head. Three others were treated at the scene and discharged.
