PITTSBURGH, PA - The image of a Port Authority bus that was swallowed by a sinkhole on Monday captivated people all over the country. Just two days later, that image has been turned into an ornament suitable for hanging on a Christmas tree.

Pittsburgh multidisciplinary artist Toby Atticus Fraley has begun selling the 3.5-inch wide, cast resin and hand-painted ornament. It costs $30 and can be ordered with or without a brass hanging loop.

According to Fraley's Twitter page and website, the ornaments will begin shipping in mid-November.
