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.

RIP. Watching it made me tear up. Look at all the pain he is in, but he still did what he had to do to save the lives of others.

It probably flew off from a Chinese made car moving at high speed.

[weitaro]

some people say that debris was a wheel hub.

[Ronin]

RIP. Hardly ever hear stories of bravery and courage from China...always about how someone is being a douche.
