Excerpts:

First Student, the company that owned the school bus that became a memorable image of the tragedy, held a ceremony in which they presented $5,000 checks to four adults credited with preventing the death or serious injury of about 60 children on the bus.

---------

The bus driver, Kim Dahl, who a company official said had the presence of mind to jam on the parking brake and possibly prevent the bus from sliding off the bridge into the river, made her first public comments since the collapse.

"I don't feel like a hero," Ms. Dahl said. "I think anybody in the situation would do the same thing."
