Vietnam mom recalls how bus was submerged by flood (AP)

October 20th, 2010

Tran Thi Mung, 46, a survived passenger from a bus that was swept away by high waters early Monday morning attends a requiem for the missing 19 passengers including her 19-year-old son near the accident location in Nghi Xuan, Ha Tinh, central Vietnam, Wednesday, Oct. 20, 2010. Eighteen other people on the bus swam to safety or were rescued after clinging to trees and power poles. The bus was yanked off the main highway while traveling from the central highland province of Dak Nong to the northern province of Nam Dinh, said a local police chief. (AP Photo/Na Son Nguyen)AP - It was dark and quiet in the early morning when the bus engine stalled and Tran Thi Mung suddenly heard the driver yell for everyone to remain calm. She felt the wheels rock, then the floor tilt as the raging Lam River sucked away the vehicle’s footing and slowly began to swallow it.
