Dr. Mehmet Oz seems to have a knack for showing up at the right place at the right time.
As he's done many time before, the TV doctor again found himself in a rescue situation after he saw a tour bus erupt in flames on the New Jersey Turnpike on Sunday. The bus, which was carrying students from a Baltimore high school on their way home from New York City, suddenly burst into flames. Dr. Oz happened to be driving by as it happened and pulled over to help.
Luckily, everyone was able to get off the bus and there were no injuries. Another bus was sent to the scene pick everyone up. Dr. Oz took out his phone and took video of the scary scene, which he posted on Facebook.
Earlier this year, Dr. Oz came to the aid of a sick passenger on board a flight from New York to Los Angeles. A few years ago, he helped a woman in New York who had just been hit by a taxi.
Talk About It:
- He's like Superman -- always showing up at the right time.
- At least he's always willing to help.
- He also appears to like letting people know about these rescues.
- Any doctor would have done the same thing.

A serial stalker of Taylor Swift was arrested on Friday while napping in her bed!
Police say 22-year-old Roger Alvarado climbed a ladder to reach an upper window to Taylor’s three-story New York City townhouse. He smashed the window to enter the place. Then showered before climbing between the sheets.
He was charged with stalking, trespassing, burglary and criminal mischief.
Two months ago, Roger Alvarado was arrested outside the same apartment after bashing the front door with a shovel.
Talk About It:
- Is this Taylor’s punishment for recording that cover of “September?”
- She’s gonna have to burn those sheets and trash the mattress, too.
- Thankfully, Taylor was not home at the time. She’s been rehearsing her Reputation tour, which starts in ten days!
- Security must be beefed for this tour. The crazies are out in force.
- Just last week, an obsessed fan named Julius Sandrock climbed over the wall of Taylor’s Beverly Hills home carrying with him a mask, rubber gloves, a knife, black rope and ammunition. (TMZ)
- Not that she's ever dated tough dudes, but boyfriend Joe Alwyn seems especially soft and unlikely to protect Taylor from these creeps.
