Bus in Seine (7-29-10) Parking Break Fail. Un bus tombe dans la seine à Paris

http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-477153 I was standing next to the Seine River and heard a sound. It was the sound of a large tour bus jumping a two step curb onto a sidewalk. The bus kept going and rolled right into the river. By this time I was pulling my camera out and running. I got bumped on the side by a guy and took a fall, sliding right on my camera. Got up, ran to the scene and started the video in the process. This happened around 8:00pm July 29, 2010. Fortunately no one was hurt, besides me taking a tumble on the way over.

Don't worry people, not everyone has to jump in at once to see if there is really anybody who needs help. A good confident statement of " I hope nobody was in there" will suffice, nonetheless, I'm sure grandma can hold her breath for 15 min.

Jumping into this river is almost like swimming near Fukushima.

I'm living in Paris and i can tell you that this water is very polluted.

So, i understand why they dont jump...
