Andrew S most likely lost its brakes due to debris hitting the air tanks. These buses have air brakes. As you saw, they showed how the air pressure dropped which is when he lost the brakes

Efra The point of air brakes is to lock up when there's no air. You're implying they work the opposite way.

Older air brake systems did not work that way. Basically if you ran out of air, you had no brakes. In a modern system the spring brakes would have locked them solid and stoped them real fast.

Yes this bus had an air brake system ,they showed the pressure gauge low, and he tried pushing the YELLOW parking brake button. The thing that probably happened was a line blew, or he simply used up his supply of air from over braking. They should have kept it low gear and crawled down the mountain slow and easy boys. Always check your system before embarking on a downhill journey... glad they were all saved at the end.

That fuckin shit is basically a dinasaur anywhere else around the globe. NA though chooses to leave hydraulic brakes behind their back, regardless of the fact they work light years better. Seriously, those fucking drums are another addition to the death trap that na trucks and buses represent. I drove a scania in europe and a 2014 freightliner in Canada. Light fucking years of difference. Just felt like the government did not give a fuck about my life and those of all other commercial operators. There's not a chance in a million years that I'm gonna put my son on any of these joke pieces of shit school fucking buses. To this day I don't understand how parents put their most precious kids on these suicide buses that haven't changed aince ww1. Just blows my mind. And that's why I no longer drive heavy duty.

This bus was obviously made before 1975 with cam brakes. With those when the air pressure runs out they had no brakes. Since then all trucks and buses are required to have spring brakes. Now when the air pressure drops below about 50 psi the brake button will pop and activate the brakes unless the brake itself is defective.

So the emergency brake failed, and the service brake. The emergency in air brake vehicle controls the vehicle not the driver. The parking brake and the service brake can be controlled by the driver. The emergency brake automatically will set when the air pressure hits below 60 psi an alarm will sound warning the emergency brake is about to set. Around 40-35psi the parking brake valve pop out, indicating the emergency brake is set. In order for this to happen if he had lost control of the bus, emergency brake would be smoking.

This story is not totally accurate. Every vehicle that has air brakes has a spring brake that pop on when the air pressure drops to 20 psi. Also a light and warning buzzer comes on when one on the air tanks hits 60 psi. Also the drivers, by law, need to do a brake check before you depart. If he had, he would have discovered an air leak and none of this would have happened. Yes I do drive school busses for a iving
