I came across this True Story that happened in China in year 2008 and this was shown in BBC & CNN
A bus full of passengers was traveling on hilly road. Midway through the journey, 3 armed men were eyeing at the pretty woman bus driver. They forced the driver to stop the bus, and wanted to have fun with the driver! The woman driver naturally shouted for help, but the rest of the passengers just kept quiet and do nothing. Then a weakly middle-aged man came forth asking the 3 men to stop; but he was instead beaten up. The man was very angry and appealed loudly to the rest of the passengers to stop this uncivilized act but nobody responded. The driver was dragged by the 3 men to the bushes nearby. An hour later, the 3 men and the ruffled driver came back to the bus, and the driver was ready to drive off again.... 'Hey you! get out of the bus!' the driver shouted to the man who tried to help her earlier on. The man was bewildered and said: 'What's wrong with you? I was trying to save you just now and was I wrong in doing so?' 'You save me? What have you done to save me?' The driver retorted, and a few of the passengers were quietly laughing away. The man was really angry. Even though he did not have the ability to save her, he should not be given this treatment at all. He refused to get down the bus and said; 'I paid for the trip and I have the right to remain.'
The driver put on a grim face and said: 'If you don't get out, the bus will not move on.' What was unexpected was that the passengers, who were oblivious to the barbaric act of the 3 men just now, suddenly woke up and in a concerted effort asked the man to get down the bus saying: 'You might as well get off the bus, we have things to attend to and cannot afford anymore delay!' A few stronger passengers were indeed trying to drag the man out the bus. The 3 men were smiling knowingly at each other and commented: 'We must have done a great job to the driver!' After much ado, the man's luggage was thrown out the bus window and he was ousted out of the bus.
The bus started on its journey again. The driver straightened up her hair and turned the radio to full volume. The bus was reaching the hill top and will go downhill after a turn. The right side of the bus was facing an unfathomable cliff. The speed of the bus increased gradually. The driver's face was very calm The driver with both hands on the steering wheel. Tears started to swell in her eyes. One of the 3 men realized something amiss and said to the driver: 'Drive slowly, what are you trying to do?' The driver said nothing, but the bus traveled faster and faster. The men tried to stop the driver but the bus shoot towards the cliff like an arrow leaving the bow. The next day, the local paper reported a tragic accident at the 'Tiger Taming Hill' region. A medium sized bus fell through the cliff, the driver and the 13 passengers were all killed.
It is a very tragic story, but I wonder who related the story if the driver and all the 13 passengers were all killed?
