My kid was driving a dump truck a few months ago when a school bus driver pulled directly in front of him.

He swerved so hard he rolled a 60,000 lbs dump truck to save the lives of countless children. The cab was crushed but he was safe and uninjured.

The stupid bus driver fled the scene. She was later found out and fired.

This wasn’t a school bus, it was a commercial bus load of students and teachers. A lot of times when students are bussed the driver’s sit around waiting to return drinking whiskey.

After school’s let out student often ride “Baht” buses (pick up trucks with bed seats) and the students overcrowd the vehicles sitting on roofs and hanging out the back.

But if the go the link it’s amazing how burned the bus became, almost like there were flammables inside.

Is twenty such a ginormous number that they can’t be any more precise than “more than 20?”

Those poor first responders who had to deal with that. This will haunt them for the rest of their lives.
