They said a tire caught on fire and sparked the oxygen... Wasn't the driver changing the tire?

If anyone finds a clip of the survivor of the bus crash - please post it. I would love to see the ole codger sticking it to the press.

Possibly a brake fire that caused the flat in the first place, would be my best guess.

I know from experience if you drive your car with a flat, it will heat up bigtime.

When I pulled over at the first opportunity the grass the tire was on caught fire.
