4 Children Injured After Non-Inspected Cooling Hoses Fail on First Student Bus

From WTOC 11 Savannah, Georgia (Which has been doing a lot of FS stories lately):

On Friday, four Southwest Middle School students went to the hospital after the engine cooling system on the bus erupted, spraying hot antifreeze at the children.

The same thing happened on another bus on the same day. Now, First Student is taking some serious measures to prevent any more mechanical malfunctions.

I wouldn't normally cover this if this happened once, but twice on the same day. And then this quote from a First Student manager:

"Both buses had same hoses, same failure and same location," said Cawthon. "The hose closest to the wall ruptured which allowed coolant and steam to escape the access cover and into the compartment."...

...First Student operations manager Randy Samples says he's never heard of anything like this before and the cooling system isn't normally something that needs to be inspected.

First Student: Please inspect everything.
Oh, and it's School Bus Safety Week.
