Episode 218
Chasing the Bus

Thursday, 28 March 2002

Episode Synopsis
A bus carrying 23 passengers from Los Angeles to Las Vegas crashes less than 40 miles from its destination, killing nine people. Before he dies, the driver recalls that, moments before the wreck, the steering wheel began vibrating like a jackhammer in his hands, making it impossible for him to control the speeding vehicle. When the bus finally did come to a stop, it was on its right side on top of a sports car that was following it. At the scene, the CSIs discover that a recent parolee was on the bus, but is now unaccounted for---and that there's evidence of foul play.

Great episode; one of the best ever done. I took one point off because Gregg showed up at the scene. This little boy needs to stay in the lab were he belongs.

I love it when greg gets in the feild, makes mistakes, even tho im a major fan of his, he can be sort of a smart-alec in the lab, nice to see him not be the one who *thinks* he knows everythingfor once...

Really like the photo in this episode. Some great shots on the highway when they "traced" the bus.

Greg was the cutest in this episode. Especially under that blue light it made his hair come out quite nicely. I dont know and i dont care what csi is about all i watch for is greg.

Very nice work from all the cast. Specially Gary Dourdan and William Petersen. The plot with the bus driver is not too clear, but also interesting. The accidents are also very well made. Nice special effects in this chapter specially.

Good episode. Could have been better but it was cool seeing Greg making an attempt at feild work, and getting alittle freaked out. Good balance between forensics and character drama though with them actualy testing a bus to see when the tire pops and the

i think there was a disconnect between the bus driver with greg and then all of a sudden driver is dead. that didnt make sense - maybe i missed something
