The four students, who would have begun their first quarter at North Seattle College on Monday, Sept. 28, represented four countries: Austria, China, Indonesia and Japan. "

The three deceased students whose information can be confirmed are: Claudia Derschmidt, a 49-year-old female from Austria, Privaudo Putradauto, an 18-year-old male from Indonesia, Mami Sato, a 37-year-old female from Japan. The college has worked with government officials to assist in contacting the next of kin of the deceased. The college is also working with the city to help coordinate and communicate accommodations, travel arrangements and support for the families who lost loved ones. Our hearts are with the families and friends of everyone involved in this tragic accident."

"We didn't see anything. Just the sound. The smell of gas," Rujia Xie, 16, of China, said. Xie described the accident and said that glass fell on their faces; others jumped from the bus.
