The church bus after the fire accident in Fundacion, Colombia
At least thirty three children have died after bus driving them home from a church event burst into flames on Sunday, northern town of Fundacion, Colombia.
 
Presumably the fire occurred through the fault of the bus driver who has already been detained and interrogated. It was learnt that the accident happened when the overcrowded bus was bringing children home from Sunday schools classes. 

Yet to be identified bodies of the dead children

At the time of the accident the driver was in his cabin pouring petrol into the engine through the floor. And as there was one more canister of gasoline inside the bus the fire spread very fast sweeping away everything in its path.


While the death toll keep rising dozens of injured children are treated in the local hospitals. The identities of the dead сhildren is yet to be established with the help of their parents and available dental records.



The local witnesses described the accident that took place in their village as a living hell. The Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos visited Fundacion to pay his respects to the victims' parents, ordered a thorough investigation and declared a national day of mourning.
