Stunning footage of a yellow school bus trying to cross floodwaters has gone viral again.

It’s unclear if the bus was filled with children.

The clip was shot in Nicaragua.

The uploader, Cindy Liscow, wrote: “We were in a van on our way to Managua. Some of us had to get to the airport, and a young girl had to get to the hospital for scheduled surgery. This was the only route; the other route was completely closed to due an eroded bridge. It was a blistering hot day with Nicaragua’s high humidity. The water was 3 feet about the top of the bridge. Vehicles lined up on both sides of the bridge waiting for the river waters to go down.”

She said that a number of bus drivers tried to brave the crossing.

“Their attitude is, You just do what you gotta do to get any job done, no big deal,” she added.
