According to Mr. Corbin, the 18 young passengers played a very big role in everyone coming through the ordeal safely. "The kids were the ones that actually got the gentleman off of the bus, and they pretty much had my back as much as my concerns were with them," Corbin told "GMA." Are you surprised that a group of kindergartners were able to convince a hijacker to let them go free?

The program noted that Jovan Collazo, 23, appeared to be trying to get home, according to police, and remains in custody facing two dozen charges, including 19 counts of kidnapping. He boarded the bus with his Army-issue rifle and ordered Mr. Corbin to drive to the next town. The hijacker also moved all the children scattered throughout the bus up front in one group so he could keep an eye on them — "and when he did that, especially some of my kindergarteners, they started asking him questions," Corbin recalled to "GMA." Do you think the kindergartners were intentionally asking him questions to drive him crazy, or do you think they were genuinely curious?

They likely knew what was going on and we're trying to get on his last nerve so he'd let them all go

They were just being their regular, curious selves and wanted to know what was going on. It's not their fault he was annoyed by their curiosity!

He added that the students asked Collazo if he was a soldier — to which he "hesitantly answered ... 'yes, I'm a soldier.'" "They asked him, 'Why are you doing this?' And he never did have an answer for that one," Corbin recounted to "GMA." "Then they asked was he gonna hurt them; he said 'no.' They asked was he gonna hurt our bus driver; and he said, 'No, I'm going to put you off the bus.' He sensed more questions coming ... I guess something clicked [in] his mind and said ... 'enough already,' and he just told me to ... 'stop the bus right here, and just get off.'" Corbin calls the kids his heroes. Do you agree that the kids were brave to repeatedly question the armed hijacker while he was holding the driver at gunpoint?
