After Apollo had calmed everyone down, he announced that they should make a plan to escape before they perish. Everyone agreed. They all sat down in the bus seats together in a circle.
Apollo started," Alright first of all, every bus has an emergency kit and set of tools, if we get to those, we will probably be able to dig our way out of the snow."
Cole continued,"Yes! We can use slush of the snow to use on the walls to make them freeze and stay in place!"
Corey nodded his head. "That would be a great idea."
"But how will we get to the emergency supplies?" questioned Taylor.
"We can use the crowbar to try to break through the floor, the compartments for storage are underneath the bus. The floor being metallic would be freezing cold and easy to break through," remarked Sam.
"Sounds like a plan, Sam," said Ethan.
"Ok, great, while Robert and Corey get the crowbar and so through the floor, Ethan, Sam, and Taylor can divvy up everybody's snacks that they brought, so everyone has adequate portions for a few meals. Whoever else is left, I brought pocket knives and we will cut off the top of the seating pads on the chairs for beds, and use the use the cut off piece for a blanket. Sound good?" asked Apollo, and they all nodded their heads.
