Today, August 8th, marks the 13th anniversary of the day the Dave Matthews Band's tour bus dumped 800 pounds of human waste on a river cruise floating under the Kinzie Street Bridge.
Boat passengers "described a downpour of foul-smelling, brownish-yellow slurry that ruined their clothes and made several of them sick," the afternoon of Aug. 8, 2004, the Tribune reported.
The tour bus driver ended up paying a fine, served 1½ years probation and performed community service. The band later donated $50,000 to the Chicago Park District "to begin the healing process," according to reports.
