You need to watch the video which shows the actual event via the surveillance camera on the bus. I can't say much about the quality of the video. My screen keeps getting all blurry.
Mr. Barton is a bus driver in Buffalo, NY. As he was driving, he saw a woman on an overpass who appeared to be preparing to jump onto the freeway below. He stopped his bus, got out, went over, and talked her into coming back onto the sidewalk.
It is not only inspiring that Mr. Barton went out of his way to help another soul but that the passengers applauded his actions at the end. No one, probably, would have thought less of him had he kept driving his route. Almost no one.
"I'm a football guy," Darnell Barton said, "... you sit on the bench and the coach calls your number you gotta go in there and make a play .. you gotta do what the play calls for ...".
I think The Coach is happy.
