The official has added that three victims are in very serious condition, including the bus conductor her both legs had to be amputated.
"The bus that was blown up was on the route 'VolGU-Yubileiny'. There were a lot of students in the bus. An ambulance immediately came from the Kirov District. A male doctor asked people to help him, since he along had to run to help numerous victims. Sometimes he asked people to hold a medicine dropper, and sometimes to help someone. A torn-off arm lied in the burnt bus, people got terrible injuries, and the picture was horrible. I've seen about four dead bodies. Rescuers helped man out of the bus, and he was almost deprived of his leg. People were burnt, and they got pieces of their skin hanging. Later, an ambulance from the Krasnoarmeisky District arrived, and there were enough number of doctors," said Viktor Akhmetshin, a resident of the Svetloyarsky District of the Volgograd Region, who drove by the blown-up bus in a car.
