Peter nods, then attempts to gently edge the bus off the side of the bridge. "Okay!" He's not entirely unworried, but he's gotten better over the years at gauging what problems require him most urgently. Liz and the bus driver are more okay than the people by the explosion, but they're definitely not out of the water.
The same can not be said for the bus; one line snaps, and despite Peter's best efforts, the second one does too, and the bus plummets down to the water with a crash. Peter can't be worried about that now; he has the semi to worry about.
The driver of the semi is stuck just as the bus driver had been before, but the growing flames are so hot that even Peter recoils at his approach. He pushes through and dislodges the door straight from its frame, the metal piercing-hot. The driver, obviously disoriented, leans on Peter he helps her down and they just manage to clear the area before another explosion sets the cab completely aflame.
