Humanity began when primates started to use rocks and sticks as tools. First came the spear and the club. Eventually humans learned to control fire, then invented the wheel and the plow.
The march of progress continued--all the way up to this glorious apex of achievement: Cheetos that taste like Pepsi. Yes, this is real and commercially available in Japan.

See what water can do to horseless carriages here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYUpkPTcqPY
So if that bus went over, the first thing that would happen would be the roof might crumple, but not too much because there is some support. then the windows would probably bust out if it was to roll over and it was hit by rocks, branches, people..etc... Closing the window is pointless.
You can drive a school bus through water. A "safe" limit would be if the water is not moving faster that 8 ft a second, and the water level is no higher than 2feet. I put safe in quotes, because you really cannot gauge the speed of the water. IMO trying to traverse a flooded roadway, when you cannot see what is under the water, is just dangerous.
The two guys on top are spotters. The driver did not go across completely "blind". You can see the two individuals in the second video, on the roof of the bus that was waiting to cross the opposite direction.
