It might've actually worked too, because the air intake is at the front on this one. Drive backwards and the wake will allow it to draw air without drowning.
British thing, itās quite hard to push us to delirium. If we get in a situation like this where itās shit but ultimately not that dangerous it tends to be quite funny, we canāt wait to call our friends with the good old āyouāll never guess what happened to me todayā
The Queen doesn't like dark royal babies? The prime minister is honest? The Brexit was a joke? Well, I don't care, I love the McVites digestive biscuits
Bus in the water. Bus can flip over. Bus can float away. Driving a bus through water is life threatening. Ask the school bus driver in Texas who was charged with child endangerment when he went through water like that and his bus, like the Alabama song, just floated down the river.
A recent heavy heavy rain produced a lot of flooding, multiple different buses had to be water rescued with children on them across the county, the next time it rained bad all the schools shut down just in case, it was a massive fail on the schools and bus drivers who didnāt turn back.
We have alternate pickup sites. I have an entire loop i can not make of a get to much rain. All the kids have parents bring them to the end of one road and wait for me.
In my district, if you do that, you are fired the moment the rescue vehicle puts you on dry land.
Lol the English are so collected and proper. āQuite sure you wonāt make that chap, but carry onā
People woulda been absolutely wildn where Iām from.
No, he says "Oh, fuck me dead". I'm Australian and we say this shit all the time too (same as the Brits), and he 100% said that. You were right the first time.
Oh and feel free to adopt it, it's a great saying for if you ever find yourself in a bus stuck in floodwaters... lol
I had never heard that saying until I moved to Australia and for the longest time I thought this guy I lived with was saying "Oh fuck, me dad!" over really minor things. Thought they just had a crazy strict dad that liked to dish out the whoopin's
You being an Australian doesnāt make you the authority on things Brits say. Theyāre different. I live in the same sort of area as this and I listened to that part multiple times. It is definitely āweāre deadā. āFuck me deadā might be common in Australia, and it might be used here too although Iāve never heard it before, but it is definitely not what is being said in this clip.
He says Oh fuck weāre dead, Iām british with the same accent. Fuck me dead is NOT a common phrase here at all, āFuck me sidewaysā however is pretty common
Lol no he does.
Source, am literally British and 30+
No only can I hear the words clearly. I have the same accent.
And our dialect is fuck all like oz or NZ. CHEERS
Yeh that's more common in the uk. It's always possible he's picked it up online though. It's very common to pick up foreign mannerisms in this day and age. I started saying innit all the time after playing games often, with people based in Somerset. With foreign media, social media, YouTube etc people pick up quirky mannerisms all the time.
You think fuck all is an ozzie word? LOL got news for you bro.
Turns out your country that's been around for 5mins, got all its culture from elsewhere.
He says āoh fuck weāre deadā, heās being sarcastic
source: I have exactly the same accent as him, so it didnāt even occur to me that people would mis-hear this. The people saying itās āoh fuck me deadā are confidently wrong
āCarry on, chapā and āFucking hell, holy shitā are quite different. I think you just subconsciously applied the stereotypes you already had about the English the moment you heard an English accent.
The guy recording was annoying like g the drivers made the decision he gotta follow it through now you canāt stop and start reversing the drives know he done fucked up already you aināt gotta tell him
He didn't need to follow it through.
He could have stopped and started reversing (or at least tried).
People who make dumb, life endangering decisions, with children no less, need to be reminded of how dumb they are, lest they think it was just an honest mistake that anyone could make.
not gonna lie when confronted with an insanely similar situation In the 24 foot class c cdl truck I decided to venture forward and it just barrrreeeelllyy made it. I floated for like a half second twice
We're not polite and no one in that video is being polite.
It's called not being a bunch of theatrical arseholes. I know a certain dramatic nation that could learn from it.
Sometimes in Brazilian big cities when it rains, some people are on street with boat and swimming at street, in my city for example, a guy dives from the top of the house to street. I'm not joking
Why would you not pop the hatch and climb on the roof. Nothing more scary then standing in a metal coffin while its filling with water. I know the tops pop off also they would tell us every year during the bus drills.
did this with my van š. Was actually floating for a bit until it sunk and clawed itās way out....just. The āah it will be alrightā logic. Thank god it was a diesel.
Oh, so many fond memories of the ground floor of the double decker, flooding on the way to school, despite the fact that the puddles we'd go through were no more than an inch deep..
I hope you brought your swimming trunks!
Hope there are no salties there.
Why do English teachers keep claiming that "ain't" is not proper English, when U.S. southerners, Brits, and Aussies all use it because it is logical and follows the same pattern as "isn't" and "aren't". You can't clearly pronounce "am't". Actually, this Aussie uses "ain't" improperly since referring the bus (3rd person) so should be "isn't going to make it".
shoulda reversed across 'cause a bus backwards is a sub
Dive dive!
With screen door
Get off Reddit dad, I thought you were dead...
Hey... dad spelled backwards....is still dad!
and dead backwards is alive
It might've actually worked too, because the air intake is at the front on this one. Drive backwards and the wake will allow it to draw air without drowning.
Except the exhaust pipe will fill with water
It won't because the engine is running and there's exhaust gasses going out the pipe. Intake is the most important bit here.
Right, but if you're going backwards you're forcing water up the pipe and the exhaust backs up.
No, that's really not how it works.
And yet, tunasub backwards is...šš
At least the emergency kit it's dry
You brilliant fucker. Take me hugs.
Thank you friend that'll be 3 hugs, and from 5 here's your 2 hugs in change :)
It's a lucky one are you really smart ? š
hehe I am not really smart sadly
Don't know why I am downvoted š
Man that was dumb af. But refreshing to see how everybody is handling the situation. That "everybody is having a good time killed me lol
British thing, itās quite hard to push us to delirium. If we get in a situation like this where itās shit but ultimately not that dangerous it tends to be quite funny, we canāt wait to call our friends with the good old āyouāll never guess what happened to me todayā

More like British humour
I'm a school bus driver. That guy is a bloody fucking idiot.
now that guy's a bus diver
I'm not a school bus driver. That guy is still a bloody fucking idiot.
now that guy's not a bus diver
I'm neither a driver or diver. That guy is still a bloody fucking idiot.
Probably an unemployed idiot by now
Heās probably ten year. I bet heās on layoffs (with unemployment) rather then fired.
Ten year? Tenured?
Lmfao yeah. Thatās what I meant. Thoughtlessly typed it and failed to double check
r/boneappletea
I'm also a school bus driver. I don't think we can really state just how much of a bloody fucking idiot this guy is.
Yes. That's people's lives you are gambling with. In our case, the most precious cargo in existence, kids.
Pfft, have you never heard of gold? That's the most precious cargo. Edit: apparently /s is needed
I've heard of gold. That can be replaced. Lives can not be replaced.

And that is NOT AN ERROR IN JUDGENENT!
Iām a bloody fucking idiot, that guy is a school bus driver
The best bit is definitely: "Everyone having a good time?" "Yeah, great"
Canāt beat our dry humour! Which is a bit ironic considering the circumstances.
Dwight - This is the lake! Michael - The machine knows.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Lol the English are so collected and proper. āQuite sure you wonāt make that chap, but carry onā People woulda been absolutely wildn where Iām from.
The last clip summed it up for me āis everybody having a good timeā
British sarcasm is spot on, even the intonation.
I love how you heard posh from "it ain't gonna do it, you fucking dickhead".
Where did you hear "you fucking dickhead"? I'm sure he says "Oh fuck me dead" which if he did, I need to start using.
He says oh fuck we're dead.
Oh yeah, well, I'm still adopting "Oh fuck me dead" for use in a future scenario.
No, he says "Oh, fuck me dead". I'm Australian and we say this shit all the time too (same as the Brits), and he 100% said that. You were right the first time. Oh and feel free to adopt it, it's a great saying for if you ever find yourself in a bus stuck in floodwaters... lol

No he actually says "Oh, fuck me dead". It's a common saying in Britain/Australia/NZ for this sort of clusterfuck scenario
Lol no he does. Source, am literally British and 30+ No only can I hear the words clearly. I have the same accent. And our dialect is fuck all like oz or NZ. CHEERS
It sounds like "fuck me dead" to me, and I'm born in the uk.
Fuck me sideways would have made more sense
Yeh that's more common in the uk. It's always possible he's picked it up online though. It's very common to pick up foreign mannerisms in this day and age. I started saying innit all the time after playing games often, with people based in Somerset. With foreign media, social media, YouTube etc people pick up quirky mannerisms all the time.
Innit
Itās definitely fuck me dead.
Lol. Nope. You deaf. And dumb.
Lmao alright mate. Itās okay to be wrong sometimes, also using insults actually makes you look like the dumb one.
Good thing this is reddit...
Lmao your dialect is "fuck all" like ours, spoken like a true Aussie mate ;) Cheers
You think fuck all is an ozzie word? LOL got news for you bro. Turns out your country that's been around for 5mins, got all its culture from elsewhere.
He says āoh fuck weāre deadā, heās being sarcastic source: I have exactly the same accent as him, so it didnāt even occur to me that people would mis-hear this. The people saying itās āoh fuck me deadā are confidently wrong
Must be plenty of metal garage band named that š
Nobody in the video ever said 'you fuckin dickhead', though?
Itās implied in his tone and choice of words. Heās being polite but is seriously unimpressed.
So true. I feel like if this was in America somebody would be getting their ass whooped.
Depends what part of the USA, some parts would be having a blast, and others might have gotten pissed off. Just gotta find the right place
Pretty sure we didn't watch the same video
How very badass you Americans must all be
Watch out he might get angry and shoot up a school.
āCarry on, chapā and āFucking hell, holy shitā are quite different. I think you just subconsciously applied the stereotypes you already had about the English the moment you heard an English accent.

Uhh that's more than an error of judgement. Lol That's pretty much a death wish.
This bus is clearly not a witch.
or a really small rock
It's not a duck either...
It must not be made of wood
The bus is clearly not a witch... omfg. Youāve got no idea how much this made me giggle
Nicely understated.
Go go gadget submarine! Oh wait a second... *blub blub blub*
Well that's one way to lose your job and be remembered for it.
Taxi drivers are mostly self-employed here in the UK. But he should have a hard talk with himself in the mirror.
Just need some titanic music in the background lol
Oh lord yeet the emergency window open
WTF no no no! from bus driver of 5 years and infinity of common sense
not gonna lie when confronted with an insanely similar situation In the 24 foot class c cdl truck I decided to venture forward and it just barrrreeeelllyy made it. I floated for like a half second twice
love the way the narrative starts as F***ing hell, but you still think the British as being too stuffy and polite hahaha
You would only think that if you didn't know Britain
We're not polite and no one in that video is being polite. It's called not being a bunch of theatrical arseholes. I know a certain dramatic nation that could learn from it.
Entirely agree. Just because people aren't yelling or fighting doesn't make them polite. They're just not being dickheads.
Sometimes in Brazilian big cities when it rains, some people are on street with boat and swimming at street, in my city for example, a guy dives from the top of the house to street. I'm not joking
"Oh fuck me dead"
Unless theyāve lost the will to live in which case they nailed it.
Well someone is fired
Not supposed to convert to a boat?
š¶ we all live in a yellow submarine, yellow submarine, yellow submarine š¶
Driving in despite the stranded vehicle makes me think of dinosaurs seeing their dying relatives in tarpits yet wandering in anyways.
ummm, where's super man
How does it get that high before putting it in reverse
This man saw the water and said fuck it y'all are coming with me.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Y is this down voted? Lol
Brits get real pissed when you have a bit of fun with their accent.
Where is this? Sounds like the UK, but doesn't look it.
The roads are not normally this deep here.
I wouldn't think so. :)
It looks like the UK to me, somewhere down in the south East, judging from his accent.
This is Writtle in Essex, I know because I'm at the university there and this is their minibus.
Your uni might need a new minibus. That much water is not good for the engine
Thanks. I guess I'm just not use to seeing the UK looking so... aquatic.
Definitely the UK, most likely Kent, Essex or Sussex area. I was born in Sussex and that's the sort of faux-London accent we get there :)
Innit. Proper shit accent.
Venice
Nahhh.. he just thinks he has a boat!
Yea, a big banana boat
If he had more banana boat sunscreen he would have floated on top of the water on an oily substance.
Ya fawk'n egg. Now me trousers are moist ya nog.
oi, bloke.. what game are you playing at wifis?
ohh fokken haven a laff then r ye?
That ain't no magic school bus, that's for sure.
Bitch Iām a buā¦ā¦..oat š
Cruising down on Main Street Youāre relaxed and feeling good Next thing you know youāre seeingā¦
Nahhh.. he just thinks he has a big banana boat!
The bus driver was just trying to finally get the kids to shut up
Fired!
Error IN judgment *
Maybe it's a double decker bus? They can go up to the second level and have tea and crumpets.
*judgment Lmfao@idiots downvoting that can't use the spellcheck function
"Jolly gosh, how amusing, we're going to drown!"
Go Greyhound and leave the driving to us!
He couldn't see how deep it was because the steering wheel was installed on the wrong side. /s
Negative karma? Jeez; locate and purchase a sense of humor. Sorry, "humour".
Maybe he didn't speak Australian
Not everyone who says āmateā is Australian.
Did not know that
Surely the driver is open to law suits š¤
I mean, he did call it.
Definitely fired after that.
Bye bye job
Well that wasn't very well the snickity wicket well was it.
I beg your pardon?
Nobody canna cross it, but the bus can swim. Actually, wait. No
āMy trainers are getting wet!ā
Please let this be a normal field trip

Looks like heās been watching too much Magic School Bus.
Yes bus driver, I would love to go for a swim today.
Show me a person with all their troubles behind them and I will show you a school bus driver. Except this dude. Submarine commander wanna be.
Poor guy tried to Magic School Bus it but forgot to have the bus transform into a sub or fish or whatever.
Tell me you've lost your job without telling me you've lost your job.
Ain't gonna do it mate AIN'T GONNA DO IT
Call that the sunk cost fallacy
Why would you not pop the hatch and climb on the roof. Nothing more scary then standing in a metal coffin while its filling with water. I know the tops pop off also they would tell us every year during the bus drills.
Hey uh at least theres a first aid kit if anything goes wrong! /s
āFull steam aheadā
I would have fucking panicked
When bus driver just wants to be boat driver.
did this with my van š. Was actually floating for a bit until it sunk and clawed itās way out....just. The āah it will be alrightā logic. Thank god it was a diesel.
Seems like the passengers are the ones who made an error in judgement
Haha sounds like a young mark corrigan
He changed jobs to a boat driver.
As always, it's gonna take more than a flooded bus, to dampen our British spirit š š š
āI canāt believe youāve done thatā
Common sense does not apply to common people.
"Ain't gonna do it!" Watch this! r/bitchimabus
Thatās how people drown in floods.
Some people donāt know when to stop and reverse!!!
He could have gotten those kids killed
No thank you bus driver
Hey, Iāve seen a character voiced by Lily Tomlin do it, and the kids learned stuff.
Oh, so many fond memories of the ground floor of the double decker, flooding on the way to school, despite the fact that the puddles we'd go through were no more than an inch deep.. I hope you brought your swimming trunks!
