Video inside bus during rollover

I've seen this video twice -- once on the local news today and once on the Today Show yesterday. Anyone else catch it? Were you as shocked by the force of the rollover as I was? One minute, the kids are in the seat, hanging on, looking towards the front to try to find out what's going on and if the driver is going to recall control....the next minute, BAM!...the bus flips and the kids are slammed to the side of the bus. It was so quick and so forceful, I just couldn't believe it.

No, sorry. I haven't seen it online yet. It's not graphic, just painful to watch. I'm sure it will turn up somewhere or I can find it if I look hard enough.

It was horrifying to look at....I felt so sorry for those kids; and am both thankful and amazed none were injured seriously.

Makes you wonder how anyone survived. I guess the human body is more durable then we give it credit for being.
