S2-E26 - Taiwan's First Civilian Martyr: Teacher Lin Ching-chuan (林靖娟)

Preschool teacher Lin ran back into a burning bus six times,
saving as many kids as she could, before succumbing to the flames
on her seventh rescue attempt. Lin's body was found with her arms
around four children...four of 20 preschoolers who sadly died
that day in 1992 -- along with Teacher Lin and two
other adults. In 1999 Lin became the first
"civilian martyr" inducted into the Taipei Martyr's Shrine. Hear
her story, as well as more info and history on martyrs and
