Thailand school bus accident

 Ruby is teaching in Thailand and reports that the entire country is upset about a school bus accident, where 23 children burned to death.

the bus used hydrogen fuel, which are becoming more popular in much of Asia, and seen as a good alternative to electric buses: both are used because global warming of course...but the deaths seem to be in the back of the bus...( because the escape door in the back wasn't opened ?)

BBC Report.says that most of the gas cylinders were in the back but a few were illegally added to the front of the bus. The BBC article explains how changes had been made to the old bus chassis, and that this is common, and often does not meet the same standards found in newer buses.

The investigation found that a pipe coming from one of those in the front broke in the impact, leaking gas which ignited the fire. The trapped passengers appear to have been unable to open the rear emergency exit too, although it is not clear yet why.
