Yesterday, the board of Spring Branch Independent School District, Houston, honored Samuel Agunbiade for keeping 30 students safe on Friday when their bus caught fire.

The sounds of cheering and  clapping filled the air. Agunbiade said he heard a loud pop and saw smoke coming from the bus’s tailpipe.

He immediately pulled off and within a few minutes the bus caught fire but he got all the students off the bus unharmed.

Video taken by a witness shows the terrifying moment when the bus exploded. While reacting to the honor, Agunbiade who has been a bus driver for 21 years, said:

“They’re calling me a hero. I said hero? I just did what I was supposed to do. You guys are mine. I’m supposed to take care of you.”.
