Workers remove a school bus from the Interstate 35 West bridge collapse site Sunday in Minneapolis. The school bus was carrying 52 children from a visit to a water park when it dropped with the bridge during the collapse. All the children survived the fall.

Minneapolis ? Divers searching the wreckage of the collapsed Interstate 35W bridge on Sunday found the body of Richard Chit, according to the Hennepin County Medical Center.

Chit, 20, of Bloomington, had been riding in a car with his mother when the bridge collapsed Aug. 1. His mother, Vera Peck, 50, is among the four victims still unaccounted for.

Relatives have said that Chit had Down syndrome and was inseparable from his mother. He is the ninth person killed by the collapse whose remains have been recovered and identified.

Divers began searching the Mississippi River around daybreak Sunday, and recovered Chit’s remains at about 2:30 p.m., the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office said.

Divers from the Navy Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit resumed their task at 6:15 a.m. Sunday, after thunderstorms and a nasty current forced them out of the river for about two hours early Saturday evening.

Meanwhile, cranes on Sunday hauled away one of the most visible symbols of the devastating collapse – the school bus of 52 children among the 61 people who had been on a field trip from Waite House, a community agency in the Phillips neighborhood. All escaped without serious injury.

Images of the bus stopped behind a burning semitrailer truck, hanging partly off of the bridge, have appeared repeatedly on television, the Internet and in the thoughts of many. The truck driver died as the children were ushered to the riverbank and safety.

“God was taking care of them because that bus could have gone right over the side,” said Barb Tangen as she stared Sunday at what was left of the bridge. “It was so close to where that semi ended up. I know God’s hand when I see it.”

In addition to Peck, the confirmed missing are Christine Sacorafas, 45, of White Bear Lake; Greg Jolstad, 45, of Mora, and Scott Sathers, 29, of Maple Grove.

The Hennepin County Medical Center released one patient Sunday and upgraded another from serious to satisfactory, according to a spokeswoman. A little more than 100 people have been treated at 11 metro-area hospitals, with eight still hospitalized.

Contractors have removed 44 cars from the bridge so far. That’s out of about 100 on the bridge when it fell Aug. 1, said Kevin Gutknecht, a spokesman for the Minnesota Department of Transportation. Most vehicles on the bridge’s north end are now gone, Gutknecht said, so work will focus on the south end for the next day or two.
