heard that 15 of those were released almost immediately to family. Quite a story today! It is all over the news here and we are not even in the coverage area of where it happened.

I think they were saying 2 people had died (from the other vehicles), but none of the students had died.

Yes, I believe the two who died were in the cars hit, not on the bus at all.

Such a sad story....I worry about my kids all the time. When they leave for school, you assume they'll be fine. You just never know. I am thankful none of the children were killed. However the loss of the people in the other vehicle is horrible.
