Witnessing the fatal train and bus accident [viewer discretion advised]

The Coast is still reeling and praying for the victims of Tuesday’s tragedy.
Witnesses who watched the devastation unfold are still shaken up, including one Biloxi man, fed up with accidents at crossings in the area, who caught the crash on video. We warn you, the footage you are about to see is difficult to watch. Viewer discretion is advised.
Prayers and gasps of disbelief go up as a CSX train approaches a charter bus full of senior citizens stuck on the tracks in Biloxi. Tragedy unfolding right in front of Garland Andrews eyes as he and his friends run toward the intersection and the crash that is coming and caught on camera by his cell phone as he and other witnesses race over to the site. “Then I cut my phone off because now it’s time to help. It sounded like a bomb went off. Even though the train slowed from 26 miles to 19, the impact of the bus was really loud, but as the bus hit the crossing and knocked the crossing down, it sounded like a bomb went off and that’s when everybody started to come out of their house and just started running and it was just total chaos after that,” said Andrews.
A memorial now marks the site where Garland and other bystanders jumped into action. “They’re hanging out the windows. They’re bleeding by the face, they’re hollering about their ribs,” said Andrews.
John Kemp used his car to help people get off the bus after the crash. “I paralleled it next to the bus, jumped on the car, jumped in the window and that’s when I encountered all of the people.”
Antoinette Graves put her nursing training to work as the passengers got out. “Who was hurt the most, who was hurt the least. We covered up the wounds on them. Me and another nurse, I don’t remember her name, but we did what we could do.”
Garland Andrews is calling on officials to do what they can do to address the dangerous crossings in this area which is something he says has been a life-long problem. “I was angry and I wanted to document it so they could see. The city officials could see that something should be done about these crossings because we’re losing too many lives at these crossings down here. I mean you can see right here on Nixon Street there’s no lights, there’s no nothing, no arms. There’s nothing to tell you a train is coming.”
Regardless images from March 7th will never leave his mind. “It’s going to stick with me forever. I’m never going to forget it. Every time I hear a train I’m going to come back to this,” said Andrews.
