00:02A group of students in Mississippi being hailed as heroes, and with good reason, after stepping in when their school
00:09bus driver lost consciousness.
00:11Listen to this. A 46-year-old driver had just left a middle school in Hancock County with about 40
00:17students on board when she suffered an asthma attack and passed out.
00:21The bus was moving along a four-lane highway when it started to swerve.
00:25A 6th grader sitting right behind the driver grabbed the wheel, while another rushed forward and hit the brakes.
00:31The student steered the bus into the median, shifted it into park, and brought it to a stop. Wow.
00:37Another student called 911. Once the bus was secure, they found the driver's nebulizer and helped her use it until
00:45first responders arrived.
00:46The driver is expected to be okay, and so is everybody on board.
00:50Local officials are now praising the students for their quick thinking and calm under pressure.
