I can't believe something like this would happen but it happens anyway.

I hope the driver is doing well now and we find the guy the attacked the driver.

Something doesn't add up ... Has anyone noticed that the bus is standing still with an open door when the attack begins (3:03:20p)? And that four seconds into the attack (3:03:24p), the doors close? And then seven seconds into the attack (3:03:27p), the bus starts moving—as if on auto-pilot? The attacker eventually moves to the back of the bus(3:03:42P). By this time, the bus is traveling at 32mph. The driver keeps driving, as if nothing has happened, before being attacked again (3:03:51P) while traveling at 38mph. It's AFTER this point that the attacker appears to reach for the accelerator with his foot, at which point the driver clearly hits the brake, as there is a rapid deceleration immediately following. Why did the driver START driving? And why did he KEEP driving? It makes no sense.

first of all, i would like to say that you did a great job on the posting of this blog. i did see the video on the news a couple of times this week. that bus driver should have pulled over and kicked the person who attacked him off his bus. they do have good evidence on that guy who attacked the bus driver with the video from the camera. what is his motive for attacking the driver of that particular bus. i just hope that he goes to prison for what he did. once again great job on the posting of this blog.

I Can Sit Here and Brag About This All Day For Nothing, But I'm Not.

I Didn't Hear The Dude That Hit The Bus Driver Say He Had No Weapon On Him or Anything. Everyone Should've Got Up and Helped The Bus Driver and Beat The Boy Down Badly For Knocking The Bus Driver and He Didn't Even Do Nothing.

I Don't Care What Kind of Bus Driver You Are, School Bus Driver, City Bus Driver, Greyhound Bus Driver, Charter Bus Driver, Elderly Passenger Bus Driver, or Any Other Bus Driver You Are, Safety Is An Important Issue, But Everyone Has A Part To Stop Some Kind of Bad Activity They See Including A Bus Driver and If That Means Risking Your Job (Especially If You Been There For A Long Time Then So Be It).

The Driver Didn't Do Nothing Wrong. If I Was A Bus Driver, You Better Believe I'm Putting The Bus In Neutral, Turning On The Brakes, Shutting The Bus Off, and About To Put The Smackdown On Guys Like That No Matter Who Attacks Me. I Will Not Be Intimidated, Be Disrespected, Punked Out, and Not Defendable For What I Do. Now That Don't Mean, I'm Going To Hold A Concealed Weapon On Me and Just Do Something That Would Put Me In Jail For Years. NO. But I Will Have Something For People Like The Dude In The Red Shirt in Black Bandana Masked I Saw On The Video (Whoever The Hell He Was) and Anyone Else Who Decides To Pull Some Kind of Nonsense Like That To Get Whats Going To Be Coming To Them.

This is probably one of the reasons, despite the rocketing gas prices, that more people aren't using the buses--because of dangerous people like that. If you look in the bottom right hand corner, you'll see that the bus was going as fast as 16 MPH while the driver was being attaked--everyone on that bus was in danger, not just the bus driver. I think that a barrier would be a good idea.
