User notes: I was standing next to the Seine River and heard a sound. It was the sound of a large tour bus jumping a two step curb onto a sidewalk. The bus kept going and rolled right into the river. By this time I was pulling my camera out and running. I got bumped on the side by a guy and took a fall, sliding right on my camera. Got up, ran to the scene and started the video in the process. This happened around 8:00pm July 29, 2010.
