After a trip to Bilbao, I was returning home, and I boarded the city bus with my duffle bag hanging on my back with the strap across my chest. The bus was crowded, and when it reached my stop, I had a little troubled to get out of it. So much that the bus driver closed the door when I was out, but my bag was still in.
He started to drive, and I found myself trapped by the strap, which pressed my neck very hard, and the bag jammed inside the bus. I had to run backward at the speed of the bus to don’t get suffocated. I realized very coldly that when I would lose my step and fell to get dragged by the vehicle, I would be done. So I said my last prayers.
Luckily, people inside the bus who have seen what happened began to yell to the driver to stop, and just when I fell down, he stood into the brakes.
I was on the floor trying to breathe again when the driver came very concerned to check on me. He wanted to call 911. There was no need. I was Ok. I just had survived a life-threatening situation, and I was scared to death, but thanks God, unharmed.
Wow, that’s a terrifying ordeal! good story!
Thank you! I’m lucky to be able to tell the story
Yes you are.
Wow, that must have been harrowing. I’m glad the bus driver stopped before you were seriously hurt…or worse.
I was scared bad surprisingly calm. It was a really close call
So scary! That’s one of the worst near disasters I’ve heard. So glad you are O.K., and that now you have a great story to tell.
Yes,I’m glad too. Thank You for your comment
