Props to the stunt drivers filming this segment for a TV show about a real life event and years later gave us the perfect template for an Initial D parody.
That was the most brilliant thing I've seen someone do with a bus, wedging it under the other one to keep it from rolling. Sheer genius. Good thing it was firemen in there too, if it'd been kids a lot of people would've been mad at him over everything he did to try and help, forgetting that buses are designed to take a hit.
It's been 28 years since this happened. Thank goodness no one was killed. Ernie and Peter did a really heroic thing and a great job too. I have a feeling they're both retired from bus driving.
You can tell this is old, technology has improved, most vehicles now have feature were the air get to certain psi and all the brakes will lock-up, and most vehicles this size has more then one tank.
Wow. How terrifying. I drove bus. You are completely responsible for the lives on your bus. Even though the trouble wasn't he's fault, if he'd crashed, and survived, he wouldn't have felt responsible for any deaths or injuries. I'm so glad he had such an intelligent and caring friend who saved his life, along with all those fire fighters.
HOLY SHIT!!! Same thing happened to my school bus in 5th grade to a field trip, the bus lost air pressure so it had no brakes, so the bus driver just drove into the gravel and it stopped.
Jeremy Boateng Yeah, was scary, but thankfully the bus driver knew what he was doing and stopped the bus safely by rolling it into some gravel and bushes.
I used to watch this show when it first came out on broadcast TV. I never realized how elaborate the reenactments were. And the acting was even good, not the cardboard soap opera acting, and overbearing narrative you see with a lot of other shows of this kind. Quality show.
That's amazing! The first time I saw this I thought it was a bad idea to use school buses for this, they just don't seem right for this kind of thing. I love how he's singing 'runaway bus" at the end
They're all from Episode 411. Each Rescue 911 episode had three to five stories. Episode 411 had four stories: 1. "Three Men and a Little Girl" 2. "Brakeless Bus 3. "CO-Poisoned Family" 4. "911 Santa Delivery"
Those guys did a good job, here is an old bus driving song that we would sing after a trip.. Thank you Mr Bus driver thanks for the ride. Going this way and that way, and sometimes the wrong way, thank you Mr. Bus diver thanks for the ride! Three cheers for these brave guys!
I love this segment cause Pete sings "Runaway Bus" at the end!! This segment reminds me of the one where the trucker loses his brakes, and his friend has to help stop his truck!!
That was awsome driving by both of the bus drivers. Awesome done at the end where he push him out and use his bus to support the other bus for not tipping over! They should get a medal!!!!
when the bus pulled onto the side of the road, it was VERY smart to get up right beside him, if he didn't, the bus on the side of the road would've tipped and toppled, and they would've died because of blows to the head. no seat belt on those things.
Happened again in San Andreas the Friday before fall break. A school bus lost its brakes on the Elmore expressway. It crushed ten cars and hit several more.
Good thing that on semi-trucks and busses if you're losing too much air pressure (under 40-60 PSI in the air tanks) the parking brakes applies automaticly, progressively as the air gets to zero and wont get off until you get at least 60 PSI in the tanks.
Amazing. Like the Wizard of Oz/Dark Side of the Moon thing. Everything syncs up almost perfectly, and as soon as they cut to the old fart playing guitar, the 90s song ends. My favorite part is after the bus stops and he's still holding the wheel. The music seems to really work with that moment lol
It looks like they tilted the camera to make the road look steeper. They probably filmed the jump on a flat road with no cliff to the side, and they probably did it slow and then sped up the film to make it look faster. I'm also guessing there was no one except the stunt drivers in the buses when they filmed them from the outside.
Look how the other school bus driver uses his bus to pull alongside the other one with failed brakes by pushing it to the bank and that did the trick and that stopped the bus
Those buses are from model year 1979-80 International but when they showed the speedometer and the brake PSI indicator, they showed the dash console of an International Loadstar 1700, which is the S1700s predecessor model and the S1700s had a different dash console
When you loose all your air the brakes should lock. Also, anyone that has ever driven down hill, you don't take it out of gear. Props the the first driver hellova job.
Nimbly if a bus is going downhill at TopSpeed The gears will grind against one another and the brakes won’t lock up that could explain why there was smoke coming from the bus the brakes were trying to stop it but because they were going down hill The momentum of gravity was pushing it down heal faster than the brakes could stop it There’s also the case that the brakes that were made back in the time that this happened we’re probably not as advanced as the ones we have today the film was made in 1992 so there is no telling how outdated those buses were
Those international vehicles had air over oil brakes which were very poor at best. I've known serious accidents caused by them failing. One on a hill killing 2 people. You still see some of these old vehicles on the road today. I'll never travel in one again and I avoid them if I can.
Its a little hard to explai, but shifting a big truck or bus is a lot different than shifting in a car with a synchronized clutch. Yes, at 45mph you could normally pop it into 10th gear, but if you're going down a mountain with no brakes and building speed, there's no way you would be able to catch the gear in time. Maybe another trucker can explain it a little better than me.
I agree they did the right thing, since they would never have made it down the hill, even if they didn't meet anyone. I was just shocked at the way they stopped it!!!
this one is also interesting because in the begining commentary by shatner he stands beside a schoolbus instead of the usual Firetruck, ambulance,policecar,helicopter..
Maybe, but I think it's more related to these two: Episode 323: Collapsed School Bus Driver ua-cam.com/video/czl3tzZS1I0/v-deo.html Episode 714: Runaway School Bus ua-cam.com/video/vSW6-Ci2e9A/v-deo.html
I'd like to know how at the top of the mountain the buses were one Chevy and one International, but at the time they came to a stop they were both International
Ok how come nobody on that bus is screaming?? I would been screaming to death and having a panic attack if the bus didn't stop and going in fast speed.

I can tell it was old because of the dated recording
Only in the Obese States of America of course. Please keep that in mind.

shut off the motor and drop the clutch
Andy Elkins The school bus was an automatic.

catloverKD i thought that was funny too
Runawayyyyyyy bus!! Runawayyyyyyy bus!! 🤣
The newer buses and big rigs nowadays the parking brake pops on when the air pressure drops below 60 PSI
indirect action airbrakes.. you need air pressure to release the brakes. That is the standard nowadays.
Not at 60, more like about 45
@@victormacarthur6029 No its 30 I just got my cdl. At 65 you alarm sounds that your low on air.
They're all from Episode 411. Each Rescue 911 episode had three to five stories. Episode 411 had four stories:

I certainly didn't expect them to stop the bus this way!
wow he did such a good job ✨👍✨ and is a hero.
OMG thats so scary. Glad to hear nobody got hurt.
lol running in the 90s :D
bigo3293 u from there 2
when the bus pulled onto the side of the road, it was VERY smart to get up right beside him, if he didn't, the bus on the side of the road would've tipped and toppled, and they would've died because of blows to the head. no seat belt on those things.
in the beginning, the first bus was a Chevy. But near the end, it was an International.
Lets just say you are a hella good driver. Both of you. I am glad y'all are all ok.
Those things sure are tough. Do that with a car and its a crumpled piece of metal. These things had hardly a scratch.
Steinway Husky Yeah. I wouldn't be surprised if they continued to use this bus.
Running in the 90s it's a new place for me
Am i the only one who has the song at the end come in their head randomly every couple years , for the last 30 years?
No, it's actually integrated into my tourette's. I sing it quarterly
Happened again in San Andreas the Friday before fall break. A school bus lost its brakes on the Elmore expressway. It crushed ten cars and hit several more.
Several people went to hospitals on that Friday.
That was amazing. Very good thinking.
Thank you so much for posting this clip. I finally got to see it.
Good thing that on semi-trucks and busses if you're losing too much air pressure (under 40-60 PSI in the air tanks) the parking brakes applies automaticly, progressively as the air gets to zero and wont get off until you get at least 60 PSI in the tanks.
there is no progressive application, once it's below 60, its activated 100%
One bus was a Chevy at the top of the hill, buy the bottom they're both Internationals. They must have been going really fast.
touge battle
Amazing. Like the Wizard of Oz/Dark Side of the Moon thing. Everything syncs up almost perfectly, and as soon as they cut to the old fart playing guitar, the 90s song ends. My favorite part is after the bus stops and he's still holding the wheel. The music seems to really work with that moment lol
That was a VERY lucky stop!!
This looks like an epic movie!
Love the old Crown Supercoach at the beginning.
Runaway Bus!!! My favorite!!!!

allgood2000 its possible
Play "Running in the 90s - Initial D" at 1:30 of this video. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
No, "Fly to me to the moon & back" it's better for this scene
Look how the other school bus driver uses his bus to pull alongside the other one with failed brakes by pushing it to the bank and that did the trick and that stopped the bus
remind me of that initial d episode where keisuke save shinigami with brake
with another guy in 350z
Ryosuke, not keisuke bro :D
it was ryosuke
Ryosuke*
It's Ryosuke.
It wasn't me. It's my brother Ryosuke
That was one really smart save! Wow cool

Old vehicles can still be used when brought back.
It's incredible how this is completely different to the initial d meme lmao
hey yall peter was a hero but im sad to say he died yesterday morning in great falls hospital
RIP Peter and let the angels be with you.
he was a good man.r.i.p sir
let him burn in peace
Me: Terrified of buses and has anxiety
Also me: watches this
I remember this show. I miss it.
Good job bus drivers that could have ended up bad. Very scary situation
Crash: boom bam bang wosh!
driver: were here!
I love this story!

@@30795William on old air brakes pressure was needed for brakes to apply. On new vehicles pressure is needed to release brakes.
It's lose not loose.....
still looked like a great save!

I love how calm everyone in the bus is
its called tension if their was kids then yeah.
Whew, that scared me!
ha! my dad lost his brakes goin down a 9% grade, his jake helped him a LOT!
Wow the last bit was a great enactment

Do you think it I go idea to shift to first
Almost 30 years ago glad all were safe
i was to quick with my comment, they did get an award. They deserved it!!!!
That was one hell of a way to stop a bus.
I've seen the memes, but never the actually story. Geez, goodness, that was... close, to put it plainly. The right words aren't coming to mind.
good work
EPIC TOUGE
The bus lost its breaks from Debris hitting the air tanks.
Wow, almost like a real life "Speed"
I agree they did the right thing, since they would never have made it down the hill, even if they didn't meet anyone. I was just shocked at the way they stopped it!!!
that's awesome driving......
I'mhappy to see a rescue911 for Montana! A good one too!
This teaches us all to learn to expect what's unexpected 😒
Rip Peter
that is so sweet
On the Thursday before fall break, a bus lost its brakes in Westover Islands.
this one is also interesting because in the begining commentary by shatner he stands beside a schoolbus instead of the usual Firetruck, ambulance,policecar,helicopter..
4:45 Even steel isn't enough to describe these guys balls.
thats why they should equip buses with jake brakes!
dant387 School buses are now being equipped with them. I love them!
good driving
BEAT OF THE RISING SUN!
Pay closer attention, there are 2 buses in the beginning. One's a Chevy and one's and Int'l.
That's actually Ernie, the dude who had lost his breaks on his bus, singing Runaway bus.
My dad used to drive big trucks. No brakes. He... toppled over a few trees...
Yah god gives much wisdom n courage to good men!
does anybody think that this segment is a sister to episode #220? "Runaway truck"?
Maybe, but I think it's more related to these two:
Episode 323: Collapsed School Bus Driver

Episode 714: Runaway School Bus
ua-cam.com/video/vSW6-Ci2e9A/v-deo.html
Oh! THAT episode! The truckers worked together extremely well together.
I'd like to know how at the top of the mountain the buses were one Chevy and one International, but at the time they came to a stop they were both International
oh my gosh, i never sat in such scare in my life!!
BEAT OF THE RISING SUN ! BEAT OF THE RISING SUN ! YOU GOTTA FEEL THE DANCE !
🎵THE WHEELS OF THE BUS GO ROUND AND ROUND, ROUND AND ROUND🎵
Nice moves of the chauffeurs. They should make a Hollywood movie about a bus that can't slow down.
So this is the video I keep seeing in bus memes
wow that bus went in to a 20 foot ravine
Magic School Bus memes!
One clip of this episode was on one of those memes
"Win, Takumi."
Ok how come nobody on that bus is screaming?? I would been screaming to death and having a panic attack if the bus didn't stop and going in fast speed.
They all bunch of firefighters. Got the biggest balls on all public service.
#220 runaway truck has shatner behind big rigs and this one he's in front of a schoolbus, an interesting episode opener.
Who remembers watching reruns on the family Channel
Grat job bus driver's
The bus driver gods!
Beat of the rising sun!
This is an awesome story besides the memes they're all great
Memes? How dare they!
