Bus driver in Italy takes 51 kids hostage, burns down bus as police helped kids escape
Officers broke the glass in the back door of the bus and got all the passengers to safety without serious injury before the flames destroyed the vehicle. As he was apprehended, the driver said he was protesting migrant deaths in the Mediterranean, Commander Luca De Marchis said.
An adult called an emergency operator, while one of the students called a parent, and they alerted authorities, who set up roadblocks. The bus was intercepted on the outskirts of Milan by three Carabinieri vehicles, which were able to force it into the guard rail, De Marchis said. De Marchis credited the officers' “swiftness and courage,” for getting out all the children and their teachers “with no tragic consequences.”
