The Bridge is Out - STOP

I once heard the story of a huge rainstorm in a southern state where the bridge across a large stream was washed out. Soon after the storm a man was driving down the road in his car, and just as he rounded a sharp curve, he saw where this bridge had been washed out. He immediately applied his brakes and barely got stopped before plunging in to the swollen waters. After he backed his car to the side of the road he was still trembling with emotion as he thought about what would have happened if he hadn’t been able to stop. As he got out of his car he heard a familiar sound in the distance, from the direction he has just traveled. He was sure it was a large bus coming and probably loaded with people and if the driver was not warned he would not have time to stop the bus before plunging into the water and probably many would be killed. Immediately he ran in the direction of the approaching bus. He could have stood by the side of the road smiling and waving to the people but instead he got out in front of the bus frantically waving his hands for it to STOP before it was too late and many would lose their lives.
