A school bus hijacker gave up because the children onboard kept asking him annoying questions. Kenneth Corbin, a South Carolina school bus driver, revealed how the 18 brave children won their safety by simply being annoying when their bus was hijacked by an armed man. In an interview with <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Living/school-bus-driver-kindergartners-curiosity-helped-stop-armed/story?id=77732521" rel="nofollow">Good Morning America</a>, Corbin explained how Army trainee Jovan Collazo hijacked the bus after he allegedly escaped from police custody. He did this by putting a gun to Corbin's head, asking him to take the bus to the next town, but in the meantime, the children onboard began to ask annoying questions. Watch Kenneth Corbin with Robin Roberts's interview about the incident below:  [[youtubewidget||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FMYzGFRNB8]] The children asked the hijacker if he was a soldier, prompting a hesitant response, before asking, "Why are you doing this?", to which he didn't answer. They went on to question if he had any intentions of hurting them or the bus driver, and he said "no, I'm putting you off the bus". Corbin explained that the rapid-fire questions caused the hijacker to snap and give up.

"When they started questioning him, it seemed to frustrate him because his main objective was to get to the next town. I think we were on the road for about four miles," Corbin added. After the hijacker was arrested, Collazo's Army-issued M4 rifle was later discovered to be empty.

Collazo's public defender Fielding Pringle said: "These are obviously not the actions of an individual who was thinking clearly or rationally with an intent to escape. These are the actions of a very troubled young man." <img class="wp-image-1263109341" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/05/Bus-FI-Social.jpg" alt="A bus." width="641" height="387" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Alamy / B Christopher]] Corbin said that he was glad all of the children emerged unharmed from the incident. "It was so evident that they were precious cargo, and I pretty much just had to just do whatever - to get them off the bus safe and sound," he said to <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Living/school-bus-driver-kindergartners-curiosity-helped-stop-armed/story?id=77732521" rel="nofollow">GMA</a>. <h6>Featured image credit: Pexels / Lars Mulder</h6>
