In the buss were 52 children and several adults and all escaped alive, the buss became a symbol for what could have been the worse case scenario.A thunderstorm forced the navy divers to quit the researches. "Storms made their task more dangerous over the weekend, strengthening river currents," the Navy spokesman Dave Nagle said.In the accident about one hundred people were injured, only eight of them needed to be hospitalized. The list with persons confirmed as still missing includes: Christine Sacorafas, 45, of White Bear Lake; Greg Jolstad, 45, of Mora; and Scott Sathers, 29, of Maple Grove.A spokesman from the Minnesota Department of Transportation, Kevin Gutknecht, said that most vehicles on the bridge's north end were removed and that they will focus on the south side for the next day or two.
