As a motor coach operator, I learned to appreciate our first res-ponders, So many times I had to pull over and wait for LE or Rescue squads to arrive to deal with unruly passengers or medical emergencies, They were always respectful and i for one was glad to see them, Most of you may not realize the numerous distractions that impair a drivers ability to function safely. I dont know what happened in this accident, Sleep deprivation/fatigue or commotion on the bus are only a few of every drivers nightmares. We do not know how long he had been on duty in Orlando but we do know that he was approaching his DOT 10 hour limit. Driving those cracker boxes is a very demanding job.Thanks First Res-ponders!

I second the accolades being offered to all involved. It is truly heart warming and refreshing to know there are still good people willing to do what they can to help those in peril. It makes me proud to be a resident of Escambia County and a part of the human race. WHy is it so difficult for the MSM to publishing uplifting, positive stories like this instead of always focusing on either fake news or the negative side of everything. There is truly so much good going on in the world but you would never know it by listening to the MSM.

God bless everyone involved in this and prayers to the families of the driver and passengers.

This wonderful article ought to be big international news, but saving lives and helping others isn’t important enough to report for big networks. We need more uplifting news and stories of hope about good people being kind to others when tragedy strikes like this.

In times of need like this what more can be said about all the help and generosity the volunteers, law enforcement, EMS, restaurants, stores, churches and organizations did to provide help, comfort and support to the injured and displaced kids and chaperones as demonstrated in the past few days. Everyone came together to assist in any way possible to show them someone was here for them in every aspect until they could return home and be re united with their families.

It was a community effort with Baldwin County, Mobile and Pensacola stepping up to the plate and showing what we are made of and what we can do in a very short period of time when called upon.

My congratulations and hats off to everyone involved in the effort.

GOOD JOB GUYS….WE ARE PROUD OF YOU.
