The detour perhaps saved his life. "I usually take the 35W bridge, but the ramp was closed," Saunders said Thursday from Minneapolis in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. "My daughter was driving in a car right behind me when the bridge collapsed -- about 20 yards away from us. It sounded like a bomb when it dropped. "I got out of my car and the first thing I heard was the kids screaming on the bus. I called 911. I didn't really know what else I could do." Saunders, a former Minnesota Timberwolves coach, was driving home after speaking at Tubby Smith's basketball camp at the University of Minnesota, where Saunders starred as a player. "A day later, I'm still in a surreal state of mind," he said. "I can still see what happened. It's kind of like having flashbacks." </div> Source: Yahoo Sports
