Bus driver says God helped when armed boy tried to hijack bus

The bus driver who talked an armed student out of a plan to hijack the bus said God was to thank for defusing the crisis Monday afternoon. ... "I thought he was immediately going to use it on me. But after he had stopped and I began to get into conversation with him I was a little calmer, you know, and said a little prayer in my heart, and I got a clear mind after that." Okoduwa told the boy to calm down and began asking the boy various questions. Police say the boy planned to have Okoduwa drive him to Washington D.C. where he wanted to shoot government officials. ... "I could not do much thinking at the time.... I would mostly attribute it to God — if it wasn't for His help, things would have gone differently on that bus.... It wasn't anything specific I did that changed the situation.... I just stepped into a providential grace — if you call it — that's why he cooperated with me."
