When tragedy strikes, Chattanooga stands strong.
As ambulances carrying Woodmore Elementary students from bus No. 366 barreled toward the hospital Monday night and firefighters worked with police to rescue the children still trapped inside the toppled bus on Talley Road, people across the city became second responders.
Prayers were raised for the 37 children who were riding the bus, and their families. The line to donate at Blood Assurance quickly reached out the door, and people began preparing food. Others flooded the hospital, offering support to families awaiting news about their children. And teachers across the county arrived at Woodmore Elementary, preparing the school for the grieving teachers and students who would walk through its door Tuesday morning.
