As a truck driver who has lost his air brakes before, I assure you that terror in his voice is REAL

[Delainey]

I hope that truck driver is okay. He sounded so terrified of hurting anyone.

A trucker once told me that another trucker was in a similar situation with another school bus. Unfortunately the trucker had only one chose, to ditch his truck and rolled over, giving his life to save the kids. Unsung heroes are all around but are never acknowledged.

I've never driven a vehicle that size, but even in my pickup with a trailer I dont think i could've threaded the needle that clean. Hats off for the skill my dude.

[Sghgyv]

The car that drove off the road is the most sensible car driver here.

[Loopylalulaa]

The fact that we have both sides of the perspective is what makes this more chilling. The fact this truck driver thought about how many children would have been on this bus and he literally couldnt stop or control the situation must have been truly terrifying!

[nancylomac]

The truck driver did everything right the moment he realized his brakes failed. His reaction time by blaring his horn and outstanding driving kept everyone safe. God bless him!!

[ellielikescats]

i wanna give that truck driver a big hug 🫂 he sounds so scared

[dbturbonub]

The fact ONLY ONE driver reacted to the blaring horn of a big truck is really concerning.

[LittleSarah]

He did his best. The fear in his voice made me cry. So happy everyone was safe.

[LilithxRomeo]

The way he said “NO, NO, NO…! GET AWAY!!” You can hear the absolute terror in his voice. Breaks my heart…❤

[montagne]

Bro that truck driver is hands down one of the best drivers on earth.

[boondocksdragon]

That trucker sounded more afraid than the school bus driver did.... and can we just take a minute to respect how tight that squeeze was?! I bet most drivers wouldn't have been able to slide that dump truck in there without clipping another vehicle.

[qendrimsmelaj]

I like how only one guy realizes and moves out the way. He’ll live long

[jordan]

Can we talk about how that bus helper lady stayed calm for this kids 😩😩🖤

[Managable_Mayhem]

I hope this man was (and is) okay after this.
Must be absolutely terrifying. Poor guy.

[Curiositykilledme]

The man’s voice of fear almost brought tears to my eyes, he was so afraid of hurting someone poor guy :(

[DemonicsInc]

As someone who's lost their brakes before. Give that man a raise its hard to not crash when youre doin that

[LegatoBlue]

Incredible driving from a true professional. The genuine fear in his voice over the possibility of hurting those kids. On top of everything to be fully panicked and pull that off is incredible.

[Leethelee-dgli]

Just the sheer terror in his voice made me tear up because he was so afraid of hurting those people
