Not saying you are wrong, because I am late to the story, but if the doors didn’t open how did the first dozen get off? just seen a photo of a child who got off and then ran back on to help his two friends. Sadly he doesn’t survive.
I can certainly understand the driver having a panic attack watching children burn, and to all the amateur Fire fighting experts, unless you have been in that situation and lived, then you have no idea how you are going to react
