Heroic Sisters Force Burning School Bus to Stop, Credited With Saving Over Two Dozen Lives (VIDEO)
Two sisters in Mississippi, Bettye and Beth Windom, are being credited with saving over two dozen lives after they flagged down on a school bus that was on fire.
After noticing something was wrong with the bus, the Windoms drove alongside it to try to get someone's attention. When that didn't work, they pulled ahead in front and slammed on their brakes to force the bus to stop.
When the adults on the bus noticed the fire, they immediately began evacuating students while the driver tried to contain the blaze with a fire extinguisher. But it was a lost cause, and the bus was soon engulfed in flames.
