Fairfax County School Bus #627 exploded into smoke at 2:45 pm on Friday afternoon at the intersection of Eddystone Street and Springbook Drive in Annandale, about two blocks from Canterbury Woods Elementary School. The bus was carrying students from WT Woodson High School and Frost Middle School to their homes. The driver believes all students were able to escape the bus, but the number of passengers has not been confirmed. Authorities are on the scene.

There was a Fox news van there, but it's all cleaned up and gone now.

"Explodes" sounds so much more dramatic than "smokes". So some smoke came in the bus. Hardly sounds like an explosion. Yawn. Try harder next time.

This happens every day! It's usually a coolant hose breaking and spraying antifreeze onto an hot exhaust manifold. The buses are getting old and and they haven't bought any new ones in years. Those rubber hoses just rot out after about ten years.

Talk about smoke, I was going down the road one day and looked in the mirror and it looked like James Bond turned on the smoke screen in his Aston-Martin! What happened was the turbo housing cracked and antifreeze was being pumped straight into the exhaust.

Buses do actually catch on fire occasionally, but it's pretty rare.
