Every kid safely escaped the bus, which had turned into a fireball.

​Anyone who rode the bus to school and thought it was  boring should take a look at this video and feel lucky it never got so exciting.

As a Des Moines public school bus was taking home 16 junior high students from their first day of school, the riders noticed smoke coming from around the steering wheel. A lot of smoke. The driver pulled over to the side of the road.

All of the kids made it out fine, thanks to a calm driver, and a couple very, very cool boys.
