THIS KID IS A HERO. A seventh grader watched his school bus driver lose consciousness with dozens of children on board, raced to the front, grabbed the steering wheel and stopped the bus as it was veering toward oncoming traffic.
Dillon Reeves was only 13.

While the other students were understandably terrified, Dillon realized what was happening, jumped out of his seat, took control of the wheel and hit the brakes. Then he started telling everyone else to call 911.

There are grown adults who completely freeze in emergencies. This kid had a bus full of classmates depending on him and somehow had the presence of mind to do exactly what needed to be done.

Dillon's incredible rescue has made the rounds before, but THIS is exactly the kind of story that deserves another trip around the internet.

Make Dillon Reeves famous again.

A fishing charter out of Newport Beach enjoyed an extremely rare, and extremely close, encounter with the ocean’s largest shark, one not typically found in Southern California waters. The encounter was captured on video Monday off San Clemente Island, the southernmost of the Channel Islands, about 55 miles from the coast.
