Close call for bus and passengers

Unread post by BB »

A charter bus full of middle schoolers stalls at a crossing in the path of an oncoming freight train. The panicking passengers evacuate just before the crash.

How Stupid!

I just don’t get this, why would the driver leave the kids on the bus? They should have all been evacuated as soon as the bus stalled. What an irresponsible idiot bus driver he is! I just don’t get how people can be soooo stupid! :shock:

Why the rest of the passengers didn't get off on their own, and followed his instruction by just sitting there is beyond me.
