#WDIV #Michigan #BusDriver
How is the bus driver doing?? Is she ok?
Sign this kid up for his cdl with air brake endorsement! Atta boy kiddo
That’s awesome.
Dillon, hats off to you my man! 🙂
Very impressive! I haven’t gone through all of the comments to see what happened with the bus driver?
super alert smart kid. kudos.
BRAVE BOY!
What a kid! Thank you Jesus!
Wow, Dylan! ❤❤❤
Congrats!
I hope this incident brings more awareness to driver health. Truck stops are full of nothing but over priced junk food, drivers are forced to spend long hours in the seat day after day with little opportunity for exercise and no one seems to care.
Dylan, you are a good man! That act of courage earned you the title in my book. A young man yes but still a man nonetheless. 🇺🇸
Now the dad will be attacked for saying he let him drive.
Another case of the vaccine shuffle?
Lower the age limit for the U.S. presidency so this young man can run. (Clearly, the youth of this country are more honorable & mature than the ridiculous adults.) He even held his sister while being honored! Wow. 👍👏
This boy needs a license now
So did the bus driver die?
This kid the real Keanu Reeves reminds me of Speed.
All thanks to his parents.
Parents raised a good kid. Bravo 👌
good job parents… even better job young man
Some people really don’t like that attention. You might be doing someone like that a disservice to have a conference about him.Just my speculation but he seems very shaken up, and seems like you people are causing it or at the very least not helping it.Ever think of praising him privately by a simple thank you.? Why does everything in this country have to be larger than life and superficial?
No all panic😂😂😂
Kids a hero Foreal. His parents should be proud of him and proud themselves
Hows the Driver ?
Just the fact that he even recognized that the bus driver passed out in the first place – I’d think most kids on a bus would be busy talking to their friends or looking at their phones and tablets instead of paying any attention to the bus driver. It’s amazing that he noticed and recognized what was happening
Smart young man!
He’s got some good parents. He was so brave in a situation where you wouldn’t expect this quick reaction from someone so young. He saved the lives of everyone around him❤
Right boy at the right place at the right time. Kinda makes you about how the universe is put together
Wow! He’s a hero! BRAVO!!
Legend
Absolutely fantastic seeing him do that. Good job. Hope the driver is ok.
Good parenting. Good job Dillan.
So, no word on the driver nor her condition?
💯 👏🏿
Boy’s a real hero👍👌💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
A little hero, good for him. “With the favor of God, a good future awaits you young man”
Those are the true heroes, the ones who don’t see anything special on what they’ve done because they just know that they did the right thing. God bless that boy.🙏
Is the woman alright though?
Im really happy his parents chose to protect him instead of using him. What a wonderful family ❤ I hope they live a blessed life ❤
So, what happened to the driver?
Jerry tucker from the little rascals 👍 good job lil big guy
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love this kid
Put tears to my eyes. Imagining my kid on that bus. God bless you Dylan! 👌🏼💕
What an impressive young lad.
Unbelievable & outstanding 😊😊😊
Good job parents! High expectations and cumulative experience prepared him
❤
Great kid
That kid is unbelievably calm and brave.
An absolute real genuine hero.
Amazing👍
Very observant indeed, well done. That’s a great father figure as well.
Wow
He would make a great firefighter medic or police officer when he graduates 🎉
This gives me goosebumps. His awareness and observational awareness is unreal for his age. That is a gift. Special guy right here. Even in his praises he is humble, mature, and doesn’t make this about himself (puts arm around sister). Wow
Finally, a good and brilliant person in the US.
Brave boy
🥲🥲🥲🥲
Imagine he starts shooting webs
A natural born leader!! There might be hope for the future after all…😊
Hero ❤
Anyone talking about the bus driver having a heart attack while in control of the bus … Is he ok ?
Chaos and screaming at the back and Dylan is cool as a cucumber. A hero.
Props to his parents, they “created” this awesome young man❤
Glad he was not 15 because instead of saving everyone he would have recorded it for social media.
How courageous of the young man to take control in an emergency situation.
We can clearly see a young hero and an unemployed person…
Wow! This was an heroic display of courage, bravery and intellect.
Amazing!
Super boy! ☝🏽👍🏽🙏🏽👍🏽 well done!!
*Goosebumps*
Young man, if you see this. I am very proud of your quick thinking, calm attitude and attention to details. You truly are a life saver and blessing we all need 💕
let’s give him a medal of honor my god>.>
Hero.
Dylan, You’re AWESOME!!!!because of You everyone on that bus made it back home!!! ❤
I want to commend his parents for protecting him by keeping him away from the media spotlight, which can have a drastic effect on a young person’s development.
City need 2 acknowledge it give em a check
Incredible presence of mind. Great job Dylan! Congratulations to the parents for raising the kid right.
My parents taught me to drive at about 9, incase of an emergency and I needed to get away or go get help!
The fact that Dylan isn’t even acutely aware, of how this was a big deal, of his calm competence; as he was just being himself, his honing leadership skills are just beginning. Great job Dylan; WELCOME🎉🎉🎉🔥🔥🔥
This is another case of toxic masculinity and patriarchy, the boy should have stayed at his seat and let the woman driver to do her job. Clear case of mansplaining..
Super super super awesome kid!!! If I win the lottery, THAT young man’s college is covered!!! Or WHATEVER his future endeavors are!
THAT’S the kind of person I wanna know is gonna grow up and handle the future when I’m old. I’m proud of you kid! Keep your nose clean and stay good!
Parents, I’m proud of you too! You’re raising a good human!
GTA ftw.
great video, and i Also feel bad for the driver, as she may not be able to keep her job, which is sad because it’s likely due to a illness That she was unaware of. hope everything works out for her, and glad to hear that everyone is ok
Thats just amazing
Bro got to do what every guy thinks about 💪
Well done dillan. What a coragous young man. Much respect 👌🏾
Was the driver vaxxed and boosted? He almost killed all these kids.
Thank God for this brave young man i hope the driver is ok 🙏🏽
Come to Islam n success
Why is nobody talkin about her taking a drag off of something and then her passing out?!? All u idiots wanna talk about the kid.
Moooooooo raahhhhnnnnz
Wow… good job kiddo! We have seen so many negative things this year. Good to hear that there are great kids out there
Brought to you by Pfizer

Awesome!
❤❤❤
