Yesterday, the board of Spring Branch
Independent School District, Houston, honored
Samuel Agunbiade for keeping 30 students
safe on Friday when their bus caught fire.
The sounds of cheering and clapping filled
the air. Agunbiade said he heard a loud
pop and saw smoke coming from the bus’s
tailpipe.
He immediately pulled off and within a
few minutes the bus caught fire but he got
all the students off the bus unharmed.
Video taken by a witness shows the
terrifying moment when the bus exploded.
While reacting to the honor, Agunbiade
who has been a bus driver for 21 years,
said:
“They’re calling me a hero. I said hero? I
just did what I was supposed to do. You
guys are mine. I’m supposed to take care of
you.”.
