Jackknifing is about what you'd expect: take a swiss army knife and open it part-way. That's about what a jacknife looks like, and it's what happens to a truck or a bus when it has two sections that can pivot. If one of them slips, then the back end can come around and "fold" the bus in two, sort of. It's impossible to recover from that without needing a tow truck.
I was REALLY effing annoyed, though, because the 135s all changed to not in service and blew past the stop at Hastings and Duthie after I'd taken a 144 down. I should have just gone to Sperling and come back the other way via Brentwood/130/129 the other way.

I hate it when snow effs up the busses like this.
