The two teachers were probably sitting up front, near the driver who was also killed.

Have been reading about this. It happened just west of my hometown of Houston, Chickasaw, MS. Saw a picture and it is a miracle that more were not killed. Such a sad story.

Career lesson: Don’t be a teacher or a school bus driver.

So sorry this has happened. . . just heartbreaking.

With this and the plant explosion near Houston, it has been a sad day.

May the Lord be a special comfort to all involved.

I watched a little of this while I was out of town, and I’m so sorry that it happened. It’s such a shame. What happened with the guy driving the semi? Does anyone know yet?

I’m glad it wasn’t your last MS ping, though. ;o)
