It's amazing what some people can do in extreme circumstances. I'm not sure if I would have the presence of mind to help the situation, if my reporter instincts would kick in, or if I would just go into shock. I’m with you on that last point, Katie.

So, it was quite a shock to the system to be reading what felt like the storyline for a horror movie first thing in the morning. Poor young guy. Media outlets are saying the victim has been identified, mainly through popping around Facebook and calling the family who did confirm he was on that route. I think those who kept the guy inside of the bus before the RCMP arrived are some brave souls, because chances are good I would have been one of the ones off in the bushes, throwing up.
