This is by far the best mental image I’ve had all day.

Elderly tourists on an Amtrak bus in Florida are enjoying the ride when suddenly the driver collapses to the floor from an apparent heart attack. Suddenly, several of the passengers morph into super heroes:

The bus was near the top of the Sunshine Skyway bridge Wednesday afternoon when Thomas Grove, 61, fell out of his seat, passengers and authorities said.

It slammed into the 3-foot concrete wall, which blocks vehicles from tumbling into Tampa Bay. Three of the five passengers jumped out of their seats and ran toward the front.

“Grab the wheel!” 70-year-old Kenneth McAllister recalled shouting to his wife, Mary, and another woman.

The women held the steering wheel until McAllister could slide into the driver’s seat. He struggled to keep the bus in its lane and hit the brake. It stopped just before the highest part of the bridge.

Once the bus comes to a complete stop, apparently the super-hero spinach wears off. The elderly passengers spend the next ten minutes trying to figure out how to open the bus door for two nurses waiting to help the collapsed driver.

The passengers — all unharmed — called 911 and Amtrak, which uses the bus to shuttle passengers from Fort Myers to Tampa. They spent another 10 minutes in the bus because they didn’t know how to open the door. Two nurses driving by stopped to help, performing CPR on the driver.
