A terrifying scene in Chesapeake, Virginia as schoolchildren appeared to be climbing onto a stopped train.

In the video, you can see a school bus with open doors wait and then drive off while the children are making their way over the train.

It was a frightening sight for many who thought at any moment that train could start moving and the children could get hurt.

The video was recorded by an alarmed driver. The video has since taken social media by storm.

Chesapeake public school officials say they are currently conducting an investigation into this matter.
