Tree fallen on school bus, Dominica

[daveindales]

Took this photo whilst on holiday last month in Dominica, west indies. Apparently, the tree fell down during a hurricane in 1979. These was nobody on the bus at the time, but it was a brand new bus and had only just been delivered.

that must be one big ass tree.

I noticed that the tree is still alive and is regularly trimmed back. I think it's become something of a local tourist attraction as it's situated in the botanical gardens

its cool that they left it like that and not cut it up to get a mullered bus out!!

does anyone know what kind of tree it is?
