Poll question: What Would YOU Do?
Advertisements [?]
I'm doing a bit of research. I believe I know the answer to the question I pose below, so please be patient with me, and please indulge my curiosity without flaming me for it. I promise there is a point to this.

Thank you for your assistance.

=================

A man is going to be late for work. He is afraid if he is late, he will lose his job and be disgraced. He's been late quite a lot lately, as his car is a piece of junk, but instead of buying the parts he needs to keep it dependable, he went partying instead. So his car doesn't always start, and thus, he's been late for work several times in the past few weeks.

Today, however, it is not his fault. There is terrible traffic due to an accident, and even though he left his house for work ten minutes earlier than usual, he is very likely going to be late and lose his job.

=================

The accident involves a school bus with 10 learning disabled kids aboard, all around 12 years old, on their way to a field trip at the museum downtown. The bus driver wasn't paying attention, and swerved on a bridge to avoid rear ending the car in front of him. Now the bus is caught on the guard rail, teetering over the edge of the bridge. It is nearly 100 feet to the river below, and if the bus falls, the children and the driver will surely die.

=================

You are in a position to help the guy who is late, get to work on time.

You are also in a position to save the school bus full of children.

=================

What do you do?
