It's just shocking to see how this bridge collapsed...and the fate of so many were sealed by where they were on that bridge in those few seconds. The school bus and the truck pictures make me sick - I would imagine the truck driver didn't make it out...not sure....the cab is gone it seems/burning. It would seem the concrete that broke damaged the tires on the bus and it's on the side rail....

Those poor children on that bus, can't imagine the terror

The whole thing is a nightmare....

I am a first responder - I can't imagine the stomach turning horror they all faced as they heard the call and rode up on the scene of devastation.

I watch the divers in awe too - they have a horrible job - recovering bodies - seeing first hand those who's cars went into the water and they couldn't get out.

As for people helping people before even emergency services get there - I wouldn't expect any less - basic human kindness & courage is essential in times of crisis.

I agree. Along with the courage and kindness the adrenalin kicks in.
