HERO'S * Australia - Bus driver saves 37 children after crash in Sydney's south
Only after Ms Harper helped all the children off the bus did she think about herself
Sydney,Australia -The Daily Telegraph, by Rhys Haynes -September 12, 2009: -- Anita Harper was with her "family" when it happened. The oncoming vehicle swerved across two lanes of traffic towards her and the busload of schoolchildren in her care... Ms Harper yanked the steering wheel left and crashed her bus into a rock wall on Heathcote Rd, at Lucas Heights, in Sydney's south... As the busload of screaming schoolchildren looked out the window and realised the enormity of the incident, the protective instincts of Ms Harper, who does not have children of her own, kicked in. Covered in blood from a cut to her head from a flying coin-box, and with a broken ankle, Ms Harper, 67, rescued her kids... She passed each through a window as they cried in terror. All 37 of them... (Picture: Anita Harper passed each child through a window following the accident)
