DURHAM, NC — Four students were burned in an accident on their school bus in Durham, North Carolina on Monday, February 9th, 2015. Local news said that the accident happened sometime Monday afternoon.
Four people were taken to the hospital after hot liquids seeped into the passenger compartment. Officials think that the radiator suffered from a problem and the liquid sprayed on a number of children.
The kids were taken by EMS to Duke University Medical Center to be treated for burns.
The investigation into the accident is currently underway at this time.

Commentary:
Am I the only one confused as to how this happened? I’ve seen plenty of radiators break in my day, but I’ve never seen one break and send liquid hot enough to cause measurable burns into the passenger compartment after it did. I’m fairly certain something had to have gone wrong within the inner workings of the bus for this to happen, in which case, the manufacturer of the bus could be liable for unleashing a potentially dangerous vehicle that carries children out on the roads.
