I just drove by this on 395. I had taken the southbound HOV lane and first noticed the backed up traffic on the Southbound 14th Street Bridge. Then I saw at least a half-dozen fire trucks and the bridge almost completely blocked off. Finally, I saw the bus in the far right of the expressway, completely burned out; windows were all blown/burned out and you could still see the heat coming off the bus and smell the charred metal.
I am happy to hear and will pray that everyone is believed to have gotten off the bus.
