One thing that never ceases to amaze me is that in a true crisis situation people are generally calmer and more clever than popular media and the movies would leave us to believe. This is one of those instants where young teens with at least a min. of training figured out how to react in the face of problem.

"A young US student steered a school bus to safety after the driver apparently had a heart attack while driving. Jeremy Wuitschick, 13, took control of the wheel and steered the bus to the side of the road in Milton, Washington, before starting CPR on the driver."

Yes, good to see that people, even young people, can act sensibly in the face of emergency.

The subject line of this thread, however, made me think there was some sort of mutiny on the bus, and students commandeered the bus and are now sailing for an undiscovered country in the South Pacific.
