It was on Yahoo news. Bus driver had a "heart attack" and passengers' quick action avoided disaster. Apparently, some ended riding Amtrak north from florida to NY as planned.

A real tragedy was avoided by quick thinking passengers. My heart goes out to the family of the deceased driver.
Now I have one question How come passenger trains engineers and and bus drivers are permitted to work past age sixty when airline pilots must retire at sixty its mandatory? Should the NTSB be examining this fact and should RR engineers and bus drivers be required to retire at sixty the same as airline pilots.

CNN: See an End . . . . Thank God we didn't have more fatalities than we did, hmmm I wonder who's going to investigate this mishap?

Heart attacks can happen at any age although they do get more prevalent as we get older!
