Well done sir! So scary

Since when is not hurting someone by negligence the same as saving them?

@@plishplashnot negligence. the brakes went out, this happens often. the driver is trained to respond in this scenario, you aren’t.

@@helens.7699 Why do you consider "brakes going out" a normal thing to happen?

@@plishplashbecause it’s actually a known phenomenon for trucks air breaks to go out. It’s not the same as a personal vehicle like an F150, this is a commercial vehicle and they don’t exactly operate the same. There are reasons why those brakes could fail that may not be related at all to driver error. Don’t assume he made some mistake just to be cynical, and maybe don’t comment if you got nothing interesting to add

In the heat of the moment it's understandable. But really you should be honest and open - not dismissive with children

@@theunknownnoob8956 not really, in this context it’s just another way of saying “we literally almost died”

The truck actually moved and Backed into the white car behind him and People were saying he was charged for backing into the white car

And they want to put A.I driven cars and diesels..... NO! BAD IDEA. This FEMALE trucker saved lives. You go girl!!!!!❤❤❤❤

@@Moon-is1isthat’s what happens when you go with Liberty Mutual.

He sadly lost his job because of this :-(

They don't teach this in school...experience + instinct. My dad was an OTR trucker and was always talking bad about those schools. Not sure what they are doing now. He had to retrain all those who came from school.

​@@bronwaiththat is horrible .

@@bronwaiththat’s stupid.

​@@bronwaithsee the company should be the ones getting a government fine after investigation, the fact this driver was fired due to a mechanical failure falls squarely on the mechanics that service those work trucks which is in fact also falls under the companies fault for failing to stay up to date with their monthly inspections.

And even worse, if he also hit the school bus what probably would've killed the kids at the back or even all of them

That would have horrified me

@@Ai_dayooooo I doubt much if anything, I don't think there was any contact. He handled it amazing

To everyone asking what happened and if he’s okay, he was downshifting when he realized the brakes failed, flashing his lights and brights and obviously honking the horn. He was able to stop about a quarter mile down the road and police showed up to make a report. The trucking company is being investigated for how they conduct their inspections and maintenance. He is okay, thankfully everyone is okay 💙 Edit: it does not seem that he is being held responsible thankfully as it’s not his job to do the maintenance, rather praised for how he handled the situation by police.

@@catalina1867 oh, I thought the busses brakes failed and the truck could not stop in time.

If that was the case he would’ve gone left into the tree. He obviously has some concern for his own safety

@@howie6666ah yes drive in the direction that a child exiting the school bus may decide to run 🤦 great idea

If he was a good man he would have checked his equipment properly that day to make sure it was all functional. He was not doing his job properly and his inattention and inability to do his job properly almost cost the lives of a bunch of children. He's not a good man.

@@thefurryteacher1120 so miss the bus by a matter of inches? Stop talking you’re embarrassing yourself

​​@@robertvogel9849Even if he did take notice of any faults on the truck, I'm pretty sure it's the responsibility of the company that owns the truck to make sure it actually gets fixed. Don't think you can own a dumptruck the same way you can own a rig, if at all.

Thank God she didn’t listen to the lady in the front seat! They would have been killed!

​@@vvW888yep, that "Hurry up and go" would have probably killed someone if the bus driver listened

She should get fired for not getting out of the way

@@vvW888right?! She’s the typical type of more-on out there who creates accidents w/ that type of mentality! Same goes for the bus driver is & especially pickup truck driver in opposite lane. Both should have moved over to their right 🙄 thank goodness for this amazing MAC truck driver for his superb skills 🙌

Bus driver didn’t do enough IMO! At least the bus driver didn’t listen to that backseat Karen to hurry up n go. Clueless that the MAC truck lost his breaks, probably thought he was just in a hurry lol 🫠

I'd be terrified too of possibly killing children or even yourself. Anybody, really..

That gap was like 20 feet, not very impressive.

@@Oilbag wow I’m sure your a master at driving a truck in a panic

I’d also like honorable mention for the SUV behind the bus being super aware of their surroundings.

I also thought the truck wasn't that fast, until I saw the vid footage from the bus. Fck man

Those 2 cars could have gotten him killed all the truck had to do was turn off the road instead making him squeeze through

@@sandywentworth4249 maybe he didn’t know the brakes didn’t work

@@sandywentworth4249 it doesnt work like that lmfao

@@sandywentworth4249 mate, just say you've never owned a vehicle and stfu

The black truck tried to and hit the car behind him, and idk if he would of had enough time to pull into that driveway

​@@bloomleaf8310 It's very possible. That was some quick thinking, too. If I was in the car behind him I wouldn't have been mad at any drivers, but the inspection of those trucks. Cars can be repaired, but the guy in the pickup might've been seriously hurt if he didn't back up

@@SamGarrettyour not wrong about that.

Our bus driver always taught us children to pass the street BEHIND the bus. It is so dangerous to pass it in front of the bus.

The question is why the car behind the chevy didn’t back up as well and the chevy didn’t go off the road after they hit the car behind

I think it’s because he thought he was about to hurt a lot of children. This man is a nice man.

Almost made me cry, all those kids! What a horrible moment 😓

Y'all slow dude is fine we wouldn't see this vid if he wasn't

I am 😅

@@TiffanyBrown-hj4my its a dash cam and the school bus has one so yeah, you have an incorrect statement

He was okay. His breaks failed but he managed to slow to a stop and no one was hurt.

He straight up threaded a needle in a semi. I honestly can say he’s probably better than most drivers in general and he deserves massive respect.

Why can't we stop it using gears? I mean by lowering the gear and not throttling up?

@Royal Exodus it says break failure

@Royal Exodus bro what are u waffling about his breaks clearly failed 😭

@Royal Exodus def would’ve either way his brakes were broken

He did a bad job ensuring that old beater rustbucket dumptruck had functioning brakes though.

@@isaacwest maybe he did, and they broke just after...

That truck was going fast too, if he was less skilled, he probably would've hit that bus or truck, which would've been horrible either way

What happens to the truck driver

I’m confused on what was happening in this video

@@DarkNugget39 the truck's brakes failed, or just couldn't stop in time. Look up "truck runaway ramp" and you'll see lots of examples of big trucks having to go off the road because their brakes failed. They make runaway ramps for these situations on highways, so that less people get hurt. In this video the driver was terrified because he couldn't stop in time and there was an entire school bus full of children in front of him

@@DarkNugget39 also I have a feeling that the reason all the cars were stopped is bc when the bus has the stop signs it’s the law that all cars stop to keep the kids getting of the bus safe. If all the cars had been moving whilst the bus was parked that would have been catastrophic

Maybe if he kept up on repairs he could avoid PTSD and killing others. Prayers won’t fix your brakes.

​@@KBosch-xp2uthow is that his fault anything can happen

@@oofman1911 Probably is his fault. Breaks in good condition don’t just fail. Also, he could have ditched the truck right away rather than putting children in harm’s way.

@@KBosch-xp2ut There is absolutely no way for you to know the status of his brakes beforehand. You are just making assumptions. Unfortunately prayers won't fix your arrogant ignorance either.

​@@KBosch-xp2utliberal

I would be giving that man a raise and a all expenses paid vacation. The quick thinking and paired with his skill in the situation was phenomenal I would of frozen up and just panicked the moment I realized my brakes went out.

I'm tearing up just hearing I can only imagine how he felt

Yt just asked me to rate your comment. So weird 😕

Yeah you can hear his fear in it, thankfully everything's good at the end

I almost did cry wth 😂😭😭😭😭

My mother was a trucker and one of her coworkers brakes failed on a highway during a traffic jam and to avoid a bunch of deaths he made the difficult decision to drive off the side of the bridge and died on impact what a legend

… or didn’t have the knowledge how to set his breaks properly. Being a dump truck… highly probable.

The brakes failing could have been anything from poor maintenance to poorly made brakes.

Except servicing his brakes

@@doblingamez1731 brakes are pretty standard across the industry. I suspect they hadn’t been set in awhile.

You're both too dramatic. He could've pulled off the road.

@@sunetvardsky8685 I don't know man I think pulling off the road could have been potentially fatal for the driver...ground dips immediately and going downhill... tough call no matter how you look at it

@@michaelchipman1832 there are no cliffs or hills. Driver is going like 35. No one in history has died from driving on a field at 35.

@@sunetvardsky8685 power poles, trees on both sides, ditch on either side. no field in site. doesn't take much to roll a truck pulling off the hard shoulder onto grass/dirt. especially if the ground is soft. trucks are super heavy and will sink first chance they get.

Thank God no child was crossing!

It made me start crying. I’m so thankful there were no children crossing and the fact that he handled his truck the way he did.

Nah bro your slow to the beat she thought it was an angry driver. She should’ve moved he laid on the horn for almost 1000 feet she had time but she didn’t do anything. She should’ve drove forward or went to the side. The black car did exactly the right thing

@@TheJsheffield foreal lmao the cars on the other side of the road shoulda done the same

@@ryanmccullen885 the other cars shoulda moved .. the bus driver did what was right .. any panic from her and the kids could be dead or hurt … plus she said “hes not gonna make it” she knew exactly that his brakes were not stopping him

Good awareness by bus lady, checking before the door.

The man? He could have pulled off the road and put no one but perhaps himself in danger. Instead he goes straight toward a school bus and multiple cars that couldn’t move out the way. What makes him the man? That he luckily didn’t kill people because he didn’t want to flip the truck?

Yup 100% agree, I've lost my breaks before with 44t on weight on board (64.5t all up) not pretty and one of the scariest moments I've had

That is terrifying I've only lost trailer brakes and that was sketchy as all frig coming to a stop

How did he stop the truck?

@@madisnzz I haven’t seen anything else on it and I haven’t had this problem myself (hopefully never). I’d probably pop it in neutral and try to slow down enough to hit the parking brake. I’ve only been driving for 5 years so I don’t have a whole bunch experience yet.

@@madisnzz it went uphill

Amazing what emphatic people can feel for others hey!

Just be in his shoes u will def kill someone and you will lose ur job prob

The brakes didn’t work in this accident that’s why

@@ambern386 no they're right

@@ambern386 you see that BIGGGGGG patch of grass next to him?

That's why you don't stop on people's tear end. You leave enough room to give you an out. L you are suppose to see there back tires.

Stellar? Really in a semi you down shift before you break. Also you have 3 break systems you have a service break an air break and an engine break then if and when all 3 of the breaks do fail after having slowed down significantly by down shifting you put it in reverse and gently tap tap tap the gass if you are at full speed and still on a run away you have already messed up your first 4 methods to stop in time. That said this guy may be able to steer well and was lucky enough to have a large opening and no kid walking around the front of the bus however you can see that from his level of panic he was not clear headed this is why truck schools with obstacle tracks exist. Even though many drivers are still buddy tought and may know enough to pass the driving exam but not enought to truly know the basics by any means. It's very unfortunate that this driver was able to get in to this position in the first place when a proper DoT required pre-trip inspection would have found and identified the unserviceable nature of his rig and prevented this in the first place.

@@Buttcheek0216at that point, going into the grass with a bus around is a bad idea even more. Kids are more likely to be in the grass then the road if their getting off

@@Buttcheek0216I would rather be hit head on sitting in that suburban before any child gets injured

@@Buttcheek0216 Ah yes, a place where dynamics rule far more greatly, especially once friction is dynamic and kinetic. Take a still controllable semi-truck (only just missing brakes) and make it unpredictably controllable. You hit the ditch incorrectly, your rolling over, you hit one of those trees or electric poles, your potentially throwing yourself right back into the school bus. Not all about damages to own property. He could just decide to plow right into that truck, better to take some people in cars than some children. The outcome would be better than "truck hits school bus, kills X."

​@@Buttcheek0216 ah yes, putting a barely controllable vehicle going at high speeds into *wet mud* what a great idea! I can't see how that could possible make the situation worse and more uncontrollable!

lmao

Id assume it’s to keep the kid calm and not have them all rush out of the bus into potential danger of the big truck from hitting them

Lmao

Yes, the Kids emotions are based of the bus driver

She was trying not to scare the kids

Actually this only happened because he probably didn't pretrip his truck. He should be in jail

​@keralistyrus4241you realise it's the length that matters right. And the trailer was pretty short. It's an average gap and not a sharp turn either

Looks like he did everything a man could do to avoid and accident. What really baffles me is the truck in the other lane. I'd been moving over to the ditch or something. They just sat there.

​@@bradderzj4568depth perception is a thing.

@@newton18311 For not using the brakes that DONT work?

@@CYouIn10 yeah thats the point

@@CYouIn10 They dont work because of Bad driving, Brakes are held off by Air, If no Air THEY COME ON> Brakes fade because they are used wrongly by Bad driving.

​@@newton18311you do NOT underatand brake failures

It's how I reply to ultimate stress as well lol sounding extremely calm for the sake of everyone else (the school kids) and then breaking down at home

His fear was taking lives of innocent children when the truck hits the bus. Thankfully he was able to manuever.

Not that it matters much but I see a lot of people confusing the old lady for the bus driver. Not only does she not have a steering wheel in front of her but she's also on the right side of the bus

She aint a bus driver. Shes just another passenger

can we just take a moment to sympathize the driver on the other lane ☠️ My heart would’ve stopped if I saw a truck driving towards me like that 🥶

God doesn’t exist Wow I angered a lot of brainwashed Christians 💀 💀💀

@@rcmaniacandmorehuntermarti5173 he did a horrible job truck brakes fail all the time that's why you stay In a low enough gear when going down a decline so if your brakes fail you don't pick up speed passed the gears ratio. His failure to do a standard precautionary method of staying in a low enough gear was the difference between him rolling into the ditch doing 20km an hour or him screaming down a road at innocent children doing 60 like he did here because he's a bad trucker

No one is talking about the Chevy driver I would've been moved out the way

the chevy tried backing up but hit the person behind them

​@@carbin_ee ngl the vehicle height is enough for him to go offroad but decide to back up. 💀

Exactly. Bros an actual lobotomite

@@chriswolf3686 yeah i assume fight or flight response flew out of the window once he hit the guy behind

this is so sad but sweet. this made me cry

Did he die?

@2nd2nobody yes, had really no hope of survival. The hill was so long and steep he'd have had great speed behind him on his way into the water and the Ohio is a deep and wide river.

🙏🙏🙏 not all heroes wear capes 🙏🙏🙏

Where at? Sounds familiar

I agree that he's an angel, but seriously? Mad driving skills? doing footing i run faster...

Some say he is still trying to stop to this day...

@@bigbadboysteve okay? It’s still a scary situation you don’t want to hurt children or other people infront of the kids he cant stop or slow down to make the turn how you would want to and those 18 wheelers and big trucks like this one are prone to tipping over when you turn to fast you can see it kind of tilting to the right in the end it may not be that hard of a turn but under stress/pressure of not wanting to hit anybody you can see he was very scared of hitting them his adrenaline was pumping

Who told the kid to sit down🤬

Should have drove into the ditch, took a ridiculous risk

You know, that's a really good point. So much of the time we're used to the speed at which we're going, that it doesn't feel fast at all. But when you look at it from the point of view of someone else, you can see how fast it actually is

like seeing a train or passing car on street

I was just gonna say that

His heavy load is pushing him forward. Trucks neef to gradually slow down in order to stop. They cant just slam on the brakes and hope it will stop immediately

@@ShadowMoon878 he had no brakes

Top tier indeed because a gap like that isn’t easy

I was just thinking the same thing and more than likely he was loaded.

Top tier drivers have brakes that work.

He wouldn’t have to split that gap if that pick-up truck had gotten out of the way.

@@KBosch-xp2ut No, top tier vehicles have brakes that work. Malfunctions can happen and do happen, we can only do so much to control our circumstances

He is a hero for thinking about how he can keep people safe despite the adversity

U can't drive then js

I think you could've. Adrenaline is an amazing thing that seems to give you more reaction time when it counts

​@@doom0d1So true!

The other drivers could have moved to their right and they would have been fine. People who freeze in moments like this should not be behind a wheel. Also the fact that the bus driver just sat there was the dumbest part of this. The kids were off the bus. Pull forward and don't stop. simple.

@@emanuellgustea122 why would the bus driver pull forward ??

@@Marilyh so that she can drag race the truck with no brakes duh Lol

@@emanuellgustea122 think about F1 races, if you spin out, you don't want to try and avoid the car coming because that makes you unpredictable and you might just drive into the incoming car

exactly I was thinking that he must be thinking he tough and check the surroundings thelkid had already gotten off the bus

His family for sure 😭😭😭 I've been into that situation 😭😭😭

@@rah4212 i think he was more concerned about the kids honestly, that's not the sound of a man fearing for his life rather one who's afraid to take the life of others

you make it sounds like he dead

Prayer is useless as no one is listening

​@@bambinyata i wouldn't be sure, but the possibility isn't 0

cornball

No he didn't want to wreck

If he was afraid to kill children he would have just gone straight into any number of those trees along the road. The man was willing to kill children to keep from crashing.

@@405bikelifeallin5 no he was worried about hitting anyone. He didn't care about wrecking he just didn't want to hurt anyone. You can tell by his voice and how scare is when saying "get away"

✝️💗😌🙏z

i would be scared to damage my truck and go to prison too. XD
