On Tuesday, a devastating incident unfolded in Thailand as a school bus carrying nearly two dozen students and teachers caught fire during a field trip. The bus was en route from Uthai Thani province to Ayutthaya and Nonthaburi provinces when the fire broke out on the outskirts of Bangkok.
Witnesses described how the fire rapidly engulfed the bus, sending plumes of black smoke into the air. Authorities believe the explosion was triggered by a spark from a tire that ignited the gas cylinder powering the vehicle. Some students managed to escape through windows as the flames raged.
