(Aug. 2) - Riding tons of falling concrete to the river bank below, dozens of children on a summer field trip survived the collapse of an interstate bridge in Minneapolis during evening rush hour on Wednesday.
A school bus sits with other vehicles along the broken remains of the Interstate 35W bridge in Minneapolis.
"We were on our way back from the swimming field trip," said Ryan Watkins, one of the youths on the bus.
