Albertville Bus Crash :.

Early morning sleep was disrupted by an explosive noise. Quickly following the unknown thunder came the squeal and screech of sirens and the whirling of helicopter blades cutting the newly sun kissed morning skies.

The I-94 bus crash happened less than a half mile from my home today. With news reports slowly coming in, the buzz of helicopters and the flashing of emergency vehicles continues. The sky is chaotic. The noise is constant.

One fatality and many injuries are reported. Students on a companion bus wait in a local Catholic church. Parents gather in the Pelican Rapids High School in northern Minnesota for news of their children.

God be with those who wait. God be with those who are hurt. God be with those who grieve.
