Fifth-grade teacher Amy King was Busy calling names and packing away lunches. As the kids boarded (登上) the bus hired for the field trip, she made a small talk with the 75-year-old driver, Gerald Bailey.      King and her colleague (同事), Sherry Ledlow settled into the front seats for the three-hour ride. About an hour later, the teachers were chatting quietly when, suddenly, they felt the bus going off the highway. The children screamed.     King’s first thought was about the kids, "I turned around and said, ‘Guys, it’s fine. Calm down.’"     Ledlow did the same. “We were telling them that we were all right,” she says. "But in my head, I was thinking, ‘Man, we had a close call.’" The bus seemed to have lost control.      When the two teachers turned to the driver, they saw him sank in his seat, sleeping. "He was being held in his seat by his seat belt," says King, "but his head was just kind of hanging there."     King looked through the window: On the left, past the guardrail (护栏), was a steep (陡峭的) bank with tall trees. On the right, a low and grassy field. In a second, she made her decision. Leaning (斜靠) over the driver, she pulled the wheel back to the right.     The bus flew over into the grassy land, throwing children out of their seats and sending King through the window. The bus slid (滑) through the grass for several yards before finally coming to a stop, and the frightened children began crawling their way out through the broken windows.      Ledlow, pressed against the broken window, managed to crawl outside, where she saw a badly injured King. The first thing King asked was whether her students were okay. Luckily, none of the children were killed.
