'Heroic' Chinese bus driver saves his passengers after he got hit by flying debris

 

 

A Chinese bus driver who died after protecting his passengers from any harm while on the expressway has been hailed as a hero by netizens, including STOMPer Ai Zhu Guo.

 

46-year-old Wu Bin was driving the bus on the expressway last Tuesday (May 28) when a piece of flying debris broke the windscreen and pierced through his body.

 

Despite being in pain, the Hangzhou native was able to bring the bus to a halt on the side of the expressway before he attempted to tend to his injuries.

 

Unfortunately, Wu succumbed to his injuries in the hospital four days later.

 

STOMPer Ai Zhu Guo wrote in, hoping to showcase a side of Chinese citizens not commonly seen around here:

 

"I hope to share with STOMPers a recent news of how a bus driver stopped the bus he was driving to save his passengers despite being seriously hurt by a flying piece of metal sheet/rod.

 

"Sadly, the heroic bus driver passed away in the hospital.

 

"I hope this will show that there are good people in China too."

Detractors may say it is just a case of self-preservation but the fact remains that he not only saves himself at that moment of time but more importantly prevented his passengers from getting hurt with his almost superhuman effort after being struck.

 

A uplifting story of human saving the lives of many but did not end well...

Bus crash kills 23 wedding guests in Pakistan

Posted: 04 June 2012 1512 hrs

 

ISLAMABAD: At least 23 Pakistani wedding guests, including six children, were killed when a bus plunged into a ravine near the capital Islamabad, according to police.

 

Sixty people were injured when the driver lost control of the vehicle late Sunday at a sharp bend near Narr village, around 25 kilometres (17 miles) east of Islamabad.

 

The bus was carrying 97 people to Chakwal district, 100 kilometres south of the capital, after a wedding. The bus was accompanying the bride and groom, who were travelling in a separate vehicle.

 

"At least 23 people, including six children and as many women, were killed and 60 others injured when a bus fell into a ravine," police official Jawad Tariq told AFP.

 

The accident happened at 10:30 pm (1730 GMT) on Sunday. The driver lost control at a sharp bend in the road, Tariq said.

 

Pakistan has one of the world's worst records for fatal traffic accidents, blamed on poor roads, badly maintained vehicles and reckless driving.

How many of us would be able to do exactly the same thing he did if we were to be in his shoes?

 

Good that their authorities are making him a hero and many of their citizens are proud of him.

 

Too many negative reports nowadays of their country and of their citizens...

[Razgriz]

he is really brave.. ability to tahan till he brake and still turn around and telll passenger to be careful really earns huge respect..

[Xefera]

damn suay. my heart goes out to his family.

[Windwaver]

Is this in Singapore??? There's another case where China bus driver had a heart attack but still struggle to stop the bus before everybody is killed.

[Tarzan666]

Y nobody help the bus driver throughout the video...

 

although the front passenger got nice legs, she seemed to be running away than to check the bus driver...

[XLR8]

Exactly, was wondering the same thing too. Why nobody even offered to help after he was struck.

[Wishcumstrue]

How many of us would be able to do exactly the same thing he did if we were to be in his shoes?

 

I first saw the video pushed from SINA's iphone app on 2 Jun morning.

 

I could even feel the pain he was in as he agonized at the steering wheel while holding his injured side with another hand before slowing the vehicle from over 90kph cruise, switching hazard lights, put on parking brake and unbucket before standing up and instructing his pax not to wander too far as the bus is still on the highway lane.

 

According to some pax, he was placed on the 3rd- row seat after collapsing in the bus.

 

One of the bus passenger paying respect.

Actually, he tahan for the next 61 hours after the accident.

 

By the time he arrived at the hospital, he cannot speak but was conscious.

 

Doctors only know the extend of injuries with 3/4 of liver damaged and injury to his right kidney at the emergency theater.

 

He was in and out of the operating theater for the next few days before passing on 1 Jun early morning.

No it happened in China.

 

Not related to the story you described.

[Vulcann]

im wondering wtf is that flying debris coming at a high speed!

 

Puzzled me as well.

 

From the footage it seemed to be hurling towards the bus at high speed machiam a missile strike.

 

Just suay to be at that place at that time...

 

RIP, 吴斌。

im wondering wtf is that flying debris coming at a high speed!

 

The debri came from opposite direction of the highway. It seems to originate from a truck plying on the another side. (slow motion 0:50)

 

There were no vehicle ahead of the bus.

When the metal fragment hit WuBin, it would easily be over ++110kph since the bus was already doing over 90kph,

 

4 of the pax said Wubin collapsed in the 1st pax seat (1:32) and render him first aid.

They did not realize how bad it was as Wubin wasn't bleeding externally..
