Lucky Escape
What would you do when the brakes of your bus fail? The driver of this factory bus figured that the only way to stop the vehicle was to drive it through a barrier and crash it into the support column at a highway construction site in Penang. He kept his head, but lost the roof of the bus, not to mention wrecking the whole vehicle. Despite that, he was hailed as a hero — for saving the lives of 45 factory workers. CHAN BOON KAI/The Star
