A crane lifts the wreckage of a bus that plunged into the lagoon on August 5 after it veered off from the Felix Houphouet-Boigny Bridge in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, killing at least 35 people. Officials did not immediately release a death toll, but witnesses said the public bus was overcrowded. Officials said the bus smashed into two cars on a bridge stretching over the lagoon in the West African nation's commercial capital, and was then sent hurtling over the edge.
