Windows were all shattered.” Photos show shattered glass, scattered luggage, and emergency crews rescuing survivors.

Medical helicopters and ambulances transported victims to local hospitals, including Oishei Children’s Hospital in Buffalo.
The bus had been traveling from Niagara Falls to New York City, carrying mainly Filipino, Indian, and Chinese tourists.

Authorities continue investigating the cause.
