In the accident that occurred at the São Francisco Port in northern Brazil, a bus carrying passengers exited a ramp and fell into the river. The terrifying moments were captured on cameras by those nearby, while numerous fire and rescue teams were dispatched to the scene.

In the footage, passengers on the bus, which began to sink into the water, can be seen frantically trying to exit through the windows. Some passengers managed to reach a nearby boat and escape, while others remained submerged with the bus.

Retired Maria das Dores, who survived the accident, described her terrifying moments: "I thought I was going to die. I experienced the most horrifying moments of my life. People were screaming, trying to throw themselves out. The bus came down the ramp quickly, and everything happened in an instant." Of the approximately 10 to 12 people on the bus, eight, including Dores, were taken to the hospital.
