Yes, on a slow news week when the Blago Trial is on a break, we're bound to talk about only a few things: Transformers filming and the weather. Though it's the latter and not giant robots that caused 150 Megabus passengers at Union Station to suffer from heat exhaustion yesterday afternoon. As temps crept into the low 90s and the heat index neared 100, paramedics responded to the call around 5:15 p.m. as the passengers experienced a number of heat-related ailments. No one was hospitalized and a CTA cooling bus was brought in as well.
