Tragedy in Taiwan as tour bus catches fire and kills all 26 on board

It was a tragedy tht struck Taiwan when a tour bus, carrying 26 persons and on its way to the Taoyuan International Airport, crashed into a highway railing and burst into flames killing all those on board.
Eyewitnesses had seen the coach swerving from lane to lane just before the crash.
This has been reported in news.sky.com dated 19 July 2016.

The driver of the bus and the tour guide were both from Taiwan while the vehicle was carrying 24 Chinese tourists from the northeastern Liaoning province, who had arrived on an eight-day tour. They were on their way to the airport to catch their flight back home.
No one could escape because images from the scene showed that both of the coach's doors were pressed against the highway's guard rail and it was impossible to open them. Some of the bodies were piled up in front of the unopened emergency exit and many were charred beyond recognition.
According to Taiwanese government records, this accident is the deadliest one involving Chinese visitors to Taiwan since the island opened to Chinese tourism in 2008.
