It shows bus drivers correctly inspecting their bus as well as one bus driver who does his work badly. This bus driver then causes a crash, which is meant to highlight that it was entirely avoidable had he done his inspection correctly. 0:28 Title “Fatal Stop!”, 0:31 Older bald man walks into an office, 0:57 a tire on a school bus that is damaged, 1:06 Bus driver opens the hood of the bus and inspects the engine, 1:33 Bus driver gets behind the wheel and goes through a check sheet to inspect the bus before its trip, 2:31 Driver does an outside inspect of the school bus, 3:13 Football team and cheerleaders get on the bus, 3:44 Different shots of people talking inside the bus, 4:14 Woman does a much more thorough inspection on a school bus, 5:09 School Bus driving slowly down a road, 5:27 Bus driver driving in rain with broken windshield wipers, 5:57 post accident scene between a bus and a car with a police officer taking down some details, 6:17 Bus driver not wearing a seatbelt and being thrown in the stepwell while swerving, 6:44 Different scenes of vandalism on buses such as graffiti, sugar in the gas tank, or misuse of a fire extinguisher, 7:52 legs poking out under the wheel of a bus to symbolize a child being run over, 8:35 Bus arrives at the football game and the team gets off, 9:13 Bus driver begins securing the bus but in a sloppy manner, 9:32 different bus drivers performing thorough pre trip inspections such as checking the engine, mirrors, emergency exits, gages, turn signals, and tires, 10:54 Mechanics driving a faulty bus trying to figure out what is wrong with it, 11:42 different bus drivers talking to the camera while standing in front of their buses or sitting in them, 14:10 Bus driver welcomes the celebrating football team back on the team and forgets to do an inspection, 15:26 the faulty bus tire pops and the bus hits a crash barrier, 16:06 Bus driver opens his reflector box to find it empty, 16:26 Large truck turns around the corner and hits the bus which turns over, 16:50 Bleeding football team players climbing out of the bus, 17:43 Credits begin rolling with a picture of the turned over bus and several students lying in front of it in the background.
