You'll enjoy the bus video that goes along with this story:
A city bus driver is lauded as a hero after he leapt off his bus and snatched a 3-year-old girl from traffic. The bus security cameras show the girl getting off the bus with a cheery "Bye!" and walking straight into traffic on a busy street. Chris Leslie, 38, is pictured streaking out the door after her.One view from the bus camera shows a car making a rapid stop directly in front of Leslie and the girl last week.
"As I grabbed her, I looked as I pulled her back and luckily the car in the next lane, a pickup, had stopped," he said. "It was probably the first time in my life I was in the right place at the right time."
The girl's mother was busy in the bus with another child in a stroller and the toddler didn't heed a command to wait. Leslie said the mother and daughter were still hugging at the bus stop when he pulled away.
Glad this guy was paying attention.

That kiddo had some impressive speed for a three year old.
Yep yep... she was quick but the bus driver's reactions were quicker when he saw the danger.
To bad he can't win driver of the year award back to back because of some politicians rule, at least the little girl gets a second pass at living life because of his quick reactions.
