911 callers describe scene at bus crash

The Houston Chronicle has posted an article giving details on 911 calls that were made in the aftermath of the bus crash in Texas which resulted in the daaths of 15 who were headed to the Marian Days observance in Carthage:

One emergency call begins with a female crash victim speaking in accented English over the screams and moans of other passengers. After struggling to answer the 911 operator's questions, she hands the phone to a man, who apparently arrived at the scene immediately after the crash.

"We've got people crushed underneath the bus," the man said. "The bus is smoking. It might catch fire."

A female caller told a 911 operator that there were passengers "just everywhere out here laid out on the ground. They are bloody." Another caller said, "There's people screaming for help."
