Don't know much about the incident on the West Shore Exprwy, with the Spec Ed bus, except how I heard the driver handle the situation.
Calm demeanor....acted professional. He should be commended. Owen right on the radio getting help for him. Other drivers showing up to help the driver. Could have turned into a disaster real quick. Thank God it didn't. :thumbup:
Very well handled by all involved, to my understanding. "O" and a couple of drivers who showed up to help rode the bus to school without further incident. Driver is still a shape, by the way ... guess that's why they like to hire NYC's retired Finest. :thumbsup:
Good job :thumbup:
I just want to take the time to thank Owen, Ernie ,Tommy ,Mary ,The drivers and Matrons who came to my assistance yesterday. It was a bad situation that could have had tragic consequenses if this student jumped out of the back door like he tried to do! I also want to thank you guys for the kind words written on this site and for all the phone calls and texts to see If Myself and my Matron were ok ! It really gives you a sense of being part of "The Pioneer Family!" Thank You all again ! Paulie A...
So happy no one got hurt :thumbup:
Good teamwork by all,great outcome! :thumbup:

You got that right!! If you'd have jammed it into reverse without coming to a full stop first you could have blown the damn transmission! :rotfl:
