A bus driver proves his not afraid of a raging river by fording across it in a school bus packed with kids.

In the video it's clear that the river is no meagre trickle and proves to be quite a challenge and the bus is nearly flooded.

Thankfully the driver manages to cross the torrent...only to have a few other busses gearing up to make the same crossing. 

If this isn't an emergency situation where people have to be shuttled to hospital however they can, we think the drivers are just being reckless. The real tragedy is realising those drivers probably make several trips across the river through the course of the day.

It's okay to be fearless but perhaps he or she could risk their own lives instead of a bus load of passengers.
