Wu Bin, Chinese Bus Driver, Praised For Saving Passengers In Freak Accident
Quote:
BEIJING -- Chinese are hailing a bus driver who maintained control of his vehicle and ensured passengers' safety despite being struck by a chunk of iron that smashed through his windscreen.
Wu Bin ultimately died of his injuries from Tuesday's freak accident, but not before braking, shifting gears and telling passengers not to wander onto the highway. His hometown of Hangzhou in eastern China has praised him as a hero and a role model.
Dramatic security camera footage broadcast Sunday on state television showed the object hitting Wu and his calm handling of the situation, despite being in obvious pain. Wu died Friday.
China has a history of praising acts of selflessness and courage to inspire responsibility in an increasingly competitive and sometimes callous society.
Damn... this reminded me of that freak accident where a big truck ran over a large piece of wood on the shoulder and shot it backward, through someone's windshield.
