The turbulent waters of Schoharie Creek began to subside as crews searched for the fourth day for victims of the collapse of a New York State Thruway bridge. As many as 10 people may have been killed in the Sunday morning bridge collapse, officials said. Three bodies were recovered in the first three days of the search. The water level has fallen approximately 22 feet since the bridge collapsed, but the current was still too swift to send divers into the water, Sgt. Lawrence Moyer said.
