BAGSY THE BACK SEAT!

■ A PACKED bus teeters over the edge of a ravine in scenes straight out of The Italian Job.

The terrifying crash mirrored the bus drama, inset, in the 1969 film starring Michael Caine. It happened in the mountainous area of Nova Friburgo, Brazil. Passengers scrambled to the back of the vehicle to stop it tipping over into the river below. Everyone managed to get off safely.

■ The driver is thought to have lost control during a torrential downpour. An investigation is underway.
