This is what I fear the most of being a bus driver and I don't want to be out there on the road and have brake failure especially driving down a mountain or any other type of road condition.. I pray that the most high always keeps protection around me and the students who ride my bus everyday...
Wow. That was some incredible driving, holding vehicles that size on a winding mountain road at those speeds. Plus an unbelievably lucky catch wedging the runaway bus up onto some soft ground with the second bus preventing a rollover accident.
Either its a good driver or a magic man in the sky did it. It can’t be both. besides, it’s not fair to steal a good man’s glory for a fever dream fantasy.
I remember when my bus bursted into flames we all ran out the emergency rear door this happened back when I was in kindergarten in 1999 I can’t believe these buses didn’t have emergency brakes
Yes this bus had an air brake system ,they showed the pressure gauge low, and he tried pushing the YELLOW parking brake button. The thing that probably happened was a line blew, or he simply used up his supply of air from over braking. They should have kept it low gear and crawled down the mountain slow and easy boys. Always check your system before embarking on a downhill journey... glad they were all saved at the end.
Andrew S most likely lost its brakes due to debris hitting the air tanks. These buses have air brakes. As you saw, they showed how the air pressure dropped which is when he lost the brakes
Older air brake systems did not work that way. Basically if you ran out of air, you had no brakes. In a modern system the spring brakes would have locked them solid and stoped them real fast.
For soem resson, i imagine a story of a bus filled with 7th/8th graders loosing control then being saved by a rookie engineer and his old locomotive, the bus looses control and ends up in a rail line, the engineer sees the bus and gets his engine infront of the bus and stops it with the locomotive, getting the old as hell engine into a museum for it and its engineer's brave act.
They re very luck didn't get hurt or kill! Luck have backup other bus.. If no other bus then this bus maybe get hurt or kill! What a bless to 2 both driver bus saved them!
Do teenagers these days have any idea what their grandparents had to go through with buses like these? My grandfather was a truck driver for many years, He drove a lot of cars too and I'm sure he can tell a lot of tales.
The sad fucking thing is that north america deliberately chooses to go with this 100 year old technology called air-fucking-brakes. That fuckin shit is basically a dinasaur anywhere else around the globe. NA though chooses to leave hydraulic brakes behind their back, regardless of the fact they work light years better. Seriously, those fucking drums are another addition to the death trap that na trucks and buses represent. I drove a scania in europe and a 2014 freightliner in Canada. Light fucking years of difference. Just felt like the government did not give a fuck about my life and those of all other commercial operators. There's not a chance in a million years that I'm gonna put my son on any of these joke pieces of shit school fucking buses. To this day I don't understand how parents put their most precious kids on these suicide buses that haven't changed aince ww1. Just blows my mind. And that's why I no longer drive heavy duty.
If you drive a manual you can always stop by using the engine as a brake, it'll always be there and itll always slow you down if your engine has connection to the wheels

When they leave bus 1 is a Chevy with a Bluebird body And Ernie's bus number 2 is an International with a Carpenter body but when Erine's bus loses its brakes its now a International with a Ward body and bus number 1 that was the Chevy Blue Bird becomes the International with a Carpenter body .
theres a bus sc owns its a 1980's blue bird its bus number is 503.6828 it lost all air on route 506 on its elementary route boy where the middle school kids mad
Given that the bus had a manual transmission, it should have been possible by repeatedly dipping the clutch to control the speed and to work it eventually into 1st gear. I drive a school bus albeit with an automatic transmission and on steep slopes I always select L and let it go down on the gears rather than the brakes.
This bus was obviously made before 1975 with cam brakes. With those when the air pressure runs out they had no brakes. Since then all trucks and buses are required to have spring brakes. Now when the air pressure drops below about 50 psi the brake button will pop and activate the brakes unless the brake itself is defective.
The break lines might leaked and rusted away or the gear might failed or the break might be empty because breaks lines are made of metal and if moister from rains gets wet it can start deteriorate and rust away causing drivers to lose their breaks
So the emergency brake failed, and the service brake. The emergency in air brake vehicle controls the vehicle not the driver. The parking brake and the service brake can be controlled by the driver. The emergency brake automatically will set when the air pressure hits below 60 psi an alarm will sound warning the emergency brake is about to set. Around 40-35psi the parking brake valve pop out, indicating the emergency brake is set. In order for this to happen if he had lost control of the bus, emergency brake would be smoking.
Did you know that when you see the bus driver trying to take control of the bus like moving the gears if you look in the window he’s not even moving the bus
This is what I fear the most of being a bus driver and I don't want to be out there on the road and have brake failure especially driving down a mountain or any other type of road condition.. I pray that the most high always keeps protection around me and the students who ride my bus everyday...
He made the right choice at the end to stop the bus like that.
Alberta.
Wow, that was some serious team work and quick thinking. Heroic indeed!!

I'm just blown away from the reenactments on some of these videos. That's some pretty cool stunt driving!
Wow the magic school bus reboot looks great!
train game 2.0 hang on the Magic School Bus
What a good drivers, what a great team, nobody hurt. Incroyable. Chapeau !
lol my school in fort ord california had those buses behind Shatner in the intro, when I went to school there in 1995....
i know this is super serious, but all that goes through my head when theyre going down the hill is
*R U N N I N G I N T H E 9 0 S*
*I T S T H E N E W W A Y I L I K E T O B E*
He is a darn good driver. I think he's one of the best. God took the wheel.
Either its a good driver or a magic man in the sky did it. It can’t be both.
besides, it’s not fair to steal a good man’s glory for a fever dream fantasy.
Ernie deserves my respect. He wanted to make sure that everyone was safely off before he got off.
YOOOOO THAT WAS A PRO MOVE!!!! Holy shit super mad respect for those guys especially the drivers!!!!
My heart stopped and dropped at the same time thank God for his coworker
Ernie had to be scared. The other driver had some quick thinking at the last second
We have no idea how privileged we are to have the amazing cars we have today!
Oh man. That theme song took me back to my childhood. I used to watch this *ALL THE TIME!!*
Ernie what a driver! Saved a lot of lives!
I remember watching this TV as child growing up. Brings back memories.
that was one goog save! damn good driving on the drivers part
NICE SAVE...
I remember when my bus bursted into flames we all ran out the emergency rear door this happened back when I was in kindergarten in 1999 I can’t believe these buses didn’t have emergency brakes
anthony. i can relate to that. i also had a bus catch fire on me. thank god i had no people at that time
HOLY SHIT!!!! These men are real drivers! Real men! Wow! That first bus saved the lives of all those people on the runaway bus...IMPRESSIVE!!
I Like How The Chev Bluebird V.S International Ward S1700 & Carpenter International S1700
Look how the second school bus driver comes up alongside and stops the school bus who had lost its brakes by pushing it to the bank side
The guy who saved the bus was a skilled driver and a very brave person..
Fortunately no one got hurt. That could have been a TON worse =P
Daniel Selk #itsmagic
Parking brakes should have engaged if there was no air.
yes. thats interesting, maybe they weren't in this case? Older technology perhaps?
@@BarryAllen-no9nj buses back then were more like cars with hydraulic brakes no air...add to that it's a smaller bus and they rarely have air brakes
Yes this bus had an air brake system ,they showed the pressure gauge low, and he tried pushing the YELLOW parking brake button. The thing that probably happened was a line blew, or he simply used up his supply of air from over braking. They should have kept it low gear and crawled down the mountain slow and easy boys.

This was such a wonderful story! Don't remember seeing it before.
Sooo, the bus lost it's brakes because it was overloaded, rocketed down the hill, and the bus driver's name was "Ernie Heavyrunner"...?
Andrew S most likely lost its brakes due to debris hitting the air tanks. These buses have air brakes. As you saw, they showed how the air pressure dropped which is when he lost the brakes
Efra The point of air brakes is to lock up when there's no air. You're implying they work the opposite way.
Older air brake systems did not work that way. Basically if you ran out of air, you had no brakes. In a modern system the spring brakes would have locked them solid and stoped them real fast.
Hmmm, good point...
You are correct, the reason on why the brakes had stopped working is because that school bus was overweight.
Rescue 911 got me into learning about first aid and i took first aid class in high school.
It was a great stroke of luck that nothing drove up that road against them.
How is everyone so chill?
That was some good driving!
Am I the only one that likes the music from 0:46 to 1:11
Anyone else notice that there are a ton of miles on that bus
Brandon Lusch It's 36 thousand. Not 361 thousand.
For soem resson, i imagine a story of a bus filled with 7th/8th graders loosing control then being saved by a rookie engineer and his old locomotive, the bus looses control and ends up in a rail line, the engineer sees the bus and gets his engine infront of the bus and stops it with the locomotive, getting the old as hell engine into a museum for it and its engineer's brave act.
I'm glad everyone is safe
Reminds me of the movie Speed.
TampaOutlaw Except in Speed there was a bomb on the bus.
Yes it does
Or to Homer Simpson, “The Bus That Couldn’t Stop”. 😂
Always make sure that your vehicles are in safe condition
You never know what might happen even if you do check to make sure it's safe to drive. My the pipe broke due to something
I loved this show as a kid watching with my grandparents
Rescue 911 is back on tv the justice channel we fans did it
Got well deserved awards from the federal government,for once the damn government did something right for the native Americans.
N8V the real Americans.
Getting a non synchronized transmission into gear is technically possible at any speed, but your clutch better hold out.
that had to have been scary
Amazing, well done
Now tell me why school buses don't have seatbelts. Never trust the Magic School Bus!😆
Det3ctive Conan because what if the bus flipped over then a kindergartners couldn’t get there seatbelts off then the driver had to helped all of them
Lol, NO buses have seatbelts
I like Shatner as the host...
That's what I call scary
They re very luck didn't get hurt or kill! Luck have backup other bus.. If no other bus then this bus maybe get hurt or kill! What a bless to 2 both driver bus saved them!

One of them wrote a song appropriately called "Runaway bus"
Praise God
How irony that the passengers didn't panic at all.
most of them were still sleeping
One Of Da Kind That's because Indian Warriors are called BRAVES
This is why you always check ur brakes before going on a school trip
That was 12 years before I was born when this happened I was born on August 15th 2002 and this was taken on August 15th 1990
It's Like A Race!
WOW THAT was amazing... smart nove but that could have gone other way....
Tough guys rule! Great job!
To my teachers who said that adults cannot ride School Buses yes they can because this video is going to prove you wrong
Do teenagers these days have any idea what their grandparents had to go through with buses like these? My grandfather was a truck driver for many years, He drove a lot of cars too and I'm sure he can tell a lot of tales.
Um.... Busses have not changed very much. Accept maybe more power and auto transmissions.
Oh. Huh.

It's Mr. Breakfast again because he hates breaks!
Holy crap, that would be scary!!
If you drive a manual you can always stop by using the engine as a brake, it'll always be there and itll always slow you down if your engine has connection to the wheels
fast and the furious: bus
XD
+TheToxicy Speed 2: no control
That was the longest downhill i have ever seen!
That was amazing
I hope everyone knows these are reinactions of the actual stuff that happened.
the emergency brake is broke
Initial D: Bus Stage.
Are you serious? Reinacted.
Means what. Get out your dictionary.
@@christinemarlow9296 STOOPID
do these old busses lack an exhaust brake?
That's just scary
It's a standard transmission. So by not shifting would cause the engine to stall thus bringing the bus to a stop.
The gears would just grind
Thank god for the other bus being there very scary
nice save at 6:40

First the buses are a mid 80s Chevrolet Carpenter and an early 80s Chevrolet International, then they're both the latter?
This is exactly like the runaway truck episode.
When they leave bus 1 is a Chevy with a Bluebird body And Ernie's bus number 2 is an International with a Carpenter body but when Erine's bus loses its brakes its now a International with a Ward body and bus number 1 that was the Chevy Blue Bird becomes the International with a Carpenter body .
i had intial d music playing in my head
Bobby Smoke6.0 EUROBEAT INTENSIFIES
theres a bus sc owns its a 1980's blue bird its bus number is 503.6828 it lost all air on route 506 on its elementary route boy where the middle school kids mad
pfft. I call that a "challenge"
609: looks like there are racing
Incredible how he stopped the bus. That could have been much worse and some good men could have died.
Given that the bus had a manual transmission, it should have been possible by repeatedly dipping the clutch to control the speed and to work it eventually into 1st gear.
I drive a school bus albeit with an automatic transmission and on steep slopes I always select L and let it go down on the gears rather than the brakes.
I'm wondering why this was on Rescue 911 when 911 wasn't even called.
This bus was obviously made before 1975 with cam brakes. With those when the air pressure runs out they had no brakes. Since then all trucks and buses are required to have spring brakes. Now when the air pressure drops below about 50 psi the brake button will pop and activate the brakes unless the brake itself is defective.
Its a International S Series chassis from 1979 -to 1989 judging by the hood called the ''Schoolmaster'' with a Ward Body
He could’ve taken his foot off the gas let it go down and then start driving again and repeat
Edit : never mind bad idea I never commented this ok?
What a mess! Did they find out why the runaway bus' brakes were faulty?
The break lines might leaked and rusted away or the gear might failed or the break might be empty because breaks lines are made of metal and if moister from rains gets wet it can start deteriorate and rust away causing drivers to lose their breaks
So the emergency brake failed, and the service brake. The emergency in air brake vehicle controls the vehicle not the driver. The parking brake and the service brake can be controlled by the driver. The emergency brake automatically will set when the air pressure hits below 60 psi an alarm will sound warning the emergency brake is about to set. Around 40-35psi the parking brake valve pop out, indicating the emergency brake is set.
In order for this to happen if he had lost control of the bus, emergency brake would be smoking.
Jay P. Maybe they didn't require pre trip then. now they do but that's old bus they don't have the technology the new ones have. just saying
Good you have 911 call for help
What happened to the volume ?????!!!!!
Don't know but mine is terrible 😡
Did you know that when you see the bus driver trying to take control of the bus like moving the gears if you look in the window he’s not even moving the bus
This is Brakeless Bus from ep. 411
brakeless insult to crash injuries
um, what?
