Security Cameras Capture Students Trying to Escape School Bus

KHOU revealed security footage of panic erupting aboard a San Antonio school bus that led to a group of students fleeing through the emergency exit.

Security cameras revealed students screaming with panic. The students claimed the driver had threatened them, although the footage revealed she ordered them to calm down and said she was heading back to the district, as is protocol.

As the driver stopped the bus, some of the students opened the emergency hatch and jumped out.

“Have you ever seen a horror movie before, where everyone screams because you see a killer?” asked one student, who was on board that bus. “Well, that’s what it sounded like. Everyone was just screaming and screaming.”
