3 men jump in, bring out of control school bus with 40 students aboard to a stop
Bay News 9, Tampa Bay Area, FL, 1/5/12

BRADENTON -- Andrew Fisher, Sam Long and Jessie Brown were in full sprint by the time they found themselves on an out of control school bus, fighting to bring the vehicle to a stop as students jumped from the back and front entrances.

Fisher, a 29-year-old Iraq War Navy veteran, and the two other men -- Long, an Iraq War Army Ranger veteran, and Brown -- were working at Clear Sunset Car Wash on SR 64 when they heard a crash down the road.

Fisher said the men turned and saw a school bus "perusing" down the road.

Fisher said many students were jumping out of the out of control bus from the back and front entrances, "backpacks and all."
