In total, 40 students and four adults were on board at the time of the crash.
Many of the 40 students on the bus were freshmen, Hochul said. "They endured. They were strong," she said.
Farmingdale student Anthony Eugenio, 15, was asleep on the bus when he felt a thud and awoke to what he thought was a dream or nightmare. The bus felt as if it was tipping. Then he felt himself tumbling - how many times he can't recall - as he tried to pull his sweatshirt hood from over his eyes. "Then everyone was yelling," he said. "The kid next to me was covered in blood. I saw blood everywhere."
He crawled out of the overturned bus through a window, dazed but only scraped and bruised. Once outside, he found his backpack, which had been thrown from the wreck, and his missing shoe.The Associated Press contributed to this report.
