"I parked my car and called 911, and ran to the school bus and the driver was handing kids out the door as fast as I could take them," Karen Mahlum told the Marshall Independent. "They were screaming and screaming on the bus. There was so many kids."
Rescue crews from Cottonwood and surrounding communities were quick on the scene, and some of the emergency workers knew many of the 28 children on the bus. The 580-children school enrolls those from kindergarten to 12th grade.
"It's a very rural community, a very close community," Sgt. Kathy Pederson of the Minnesota State Patrol said of the town of 1,150 people about 140 miles southwest of the Twin Cities.
When Fire Chief Dale Louwagie was asked what the community could do, he said simply, "Pray."[/q]
