A bus driver, going about doing his business, supporting the community, has had his life taken from him in what is a senseless and needless act." Taxi driver Aguek Nyok helped passengers escape. He was in the area meaning to get a haircut and kicked the bus door three times before managing to break it open. "All the people were at the back trying to get out of the bus but they couldn't get out the front because of the flames," he told the Courier-Mail newspaper. "They couldn't open the back door so I kicked it down and they all came running out. "It was one of the two: you get the people out or they're going to die." Mr Nyok said there were three children among the passengers. Brisbane Lord Mayor Graham Quirk said it was "a very, very sad day for the council and the wider community". Flags
