United Press International
ASBESTOS, Quebec — The last
person to escape from a bus that
plunged into a lake and slowly
drowned 40 passengers said she
spent 10 minutes in the sinking
death trap consoling the victims and
listening to their screams and
prayers.
Lucie Pouliot, one of several vol
unteers on an outing with a group of
handicapped people, said living
through Canada’s worst bus disaster
Friday night at a lake near the Ver
mont border was a “hell I’ll never
forget. ”
Dazed relatives, many crying,
pushed past reporters and onlookers
Sunday into a makeshift morgue in
Eastman to identify the 37 bodies
taken from the bus. Three other
corpses were recovered separately.
One official said the battered ve
hicle, pulled from the muddy bot
tom of Lac d’Argent earlier in the
day, was a “mass entanglement of
wheelchairs, crutches and bodies.
Behind the funeral home in
Eastman, 75 miles from Asbestos,
hearses waited bumper to bumper
to take the victims home. They pul
led away carrying as many as three
bodies each.
“When we hit the water there was
mass panic,” Pouliot said. “They
screamed, they stood up, they were
terrified.”
For the next 10 minutes, the 22-
year-old volunteer worker said, she
was “consoling and whispering
hopes” to the passengers.
“I told everyone to stay still in
their seats. I told them we were
going to live, she said.
“Some were saying the Lord
would never let them die. He would
send help. Couples embraced and
cried. Then we started to sink.
Seconds after she dived into the
chill waters — in shock and believ
ing others were following her — the
back end of the bus sank below the
dark surface of the lake. She was the
last of seven survivors who escaped.
“They went down screaming, and
crying, and praying, she said.
For the 9,000 people of Asbestos,
Sunday was a day of mourning. Fu
neral music played constantly over
radio stations and flags flew at half
staff. The bodies were lying in state
