Boy Steers Rolling Bus to Safety

Here's a great story out of Cleveland. An 11 year old boy steered a runaway school bus to safety on Wednesday. He did it because he saw a truck coming at them and because his brother also was on the bus. David Murphy said he worried afterward that he might get in trouble for jumping into the driver's sear, but he said police and fire officials reassured him that he did the right thing. His classmates told him that too. Some of them said he saved their lives. He was among 27 students headed to a charter school on Monday when the driver stopped at a service station, pumped about $40 of fuel and went into the rest room while the bus engine idled. In his absence, the bus began rolling down a side street that swoops through an industrial area and was on a collision course with an oncoming tractor trailer rig. David looked up and saw the truck coming. He hurried and turned the wheel so he could get out of the truck's way. He is a hero.
