Originally, it was reported that Gibson hot-wired the bus. After I saw the interview, I learned that the bus depot was open, key box available to anyone who took the initiative. The folks who wait on government to solve their problems can't complain for their own lack of action. There was an interview with a passenger (a white guy) from the bus who called the man a hero....a true hero indeed.
Yup. He said he simply matched the key number on the hang tag to the number on the bus. He also had to stop and fill up with fuel at one point and the passengers all took up a collection among themselves to pay for it.
