But, that is crazy. A real HOLEE SH*T! moment for those at the front of the upper deck, to be sure.

The entire bus isn't in contact with the bridge ceiling, just one side of the bus roof. What happens when significant momentum change is imposed on one part of an object while momentum carries the bulk of its mass forward, at speed? Shear stress. Goodbye roof.

I thought it would just get stuck if it went under a too low underpass. What? This can happen? I thought it would just get stuck if it went under a too low underpass.
