Brian's video has been located.  I posted a link at the end of the original discussion (Intelligent dumb question), but for those who can't wait:

Bus Parking Brake vs. Service Brake application

Pay close attention, everyone should learn from this!

Audiomaker:I think in this instance ,Ignorance might be bliss.Just pray that you never get into a situation where you would need to do this,because I'll promise you if you have a 40 or 45 thousand lb load and you pull that knob at 40 or 45 mph something is going to give in a big way.That is why you have alarms on your air system ,to give you enough time to get stopped so you won't have to pull that yellow knob while you are at highway speeds
