My wife and I took the Duck Boat tour when we were in Seattle. I remember going over that bridge in a duck boat that looked just like that!

I'm curious, because while the original Ducks in the Wisconsin Dells were amphibious, I've never seen their San Francisco offshoots go into any body of water.

[12:33 p.m.] North Seattle College confirms 45 students and staff from its international program were in the crash.

In live coverage, a witness who was behind the Duck bus stated it swerved across lanes and hit the charter bus.

It's a terrible crash on a very busy bridge here.
