Bengaluru Viral Video: In a last-minute save that otherwise would have been a disaster, a Bengaluru bus conductor saved the day and many lives after he heroically took over the wheel after the bus driver began to suffer from a heart attack mid-driving. The incident was caught on the CCTV camera that was installed on the bus. In the video, the driver was seen driving normally for a while. However, after a few seconds, the man suddenly collapsed, resulting in the bus hitting another bus on the road. The hit seemingly alerted the conductor, who sprung to action and took over the driver’s seat to avoid hitting other vehicles and the road’s divider. The conductor then stopped the bus once he saw the opportunity. The incident reportedly took place on November 06. As per the reports, the bus driver died due to the heart attack.
The video, after getting shared, pulled many reactions. Most people found the incident scary and the passengers lucky, while the rest hailed the man for being the uncapped hero and saving many lives at the last minute.
The Bengaluru post was shared on X (formerly Twitter), by the handle ‘nBangalorepost’. The post was captioned, “Dramatic moment captured on a CCTV on a #BMTC bus after the driver suffers a heart attack while driving 256M. The conductor manages to bring it to a halt. With severe traffic congestion on #Bengaluru roads, @BMTC_BENGALURU staff go through stressful days. CPR training should be a must to save such staff.” The video was shared two days ago and pulled 13K views from people.

Taking to the comment section, people shared their take. “Great response reaction by the conductor. “Great presence of mind by the conductor. Hope the driver is okay?” added a second person. “I liked the spontaneous & timely thinking of the Conductor Anna. Hope the driver is safe. Many private hospitals train elite societies in CPR. Not sure about training crucial hardworking staff like BMTC,” added a third user.
“Om Shanti. Really sad to see, hope BMTC and other transport divisions conduct health checkups periodically,” added a fourth person. “Very sad! Hats off to the conductor for the quick action and his presence of mind” added a fifth user. “Oh God! That's scary and tragic!” commented a sixth person.
