00:00Before watching the video, I would like to remind you that there is more content on the Hotpoint website.
00:30Rescue personnel must wait for the car to cool down before they can safely get into the car to search for the victim's remains to confirm the number of deaths.
00:37And the latest news is that the authorities have finally confirmed that 25 people have died in this car accident, including 22 students and 3 teachers.
00:46This school bus is from the northern suburb of Thailand.
00:49At that time, there were 38 students and 6 teachers who were preparing to go to Bangkok for extracurricular teaching.
00:57On the way, the tire burst in front of the bus.
00:59The vehicle lost control and hit the metal railing, causing the fuel tank to catch fire.
01:05The whole car was immediately put into the fire, and the fire was quite fierce.
01:09The photos on the scene can be seen.
01:11The fire engulfed the bus.
01:13The thick black smoke spread all over.
01:15The whole school bus was burned to the car frame.
01:19Some people witnessed the accident.
01:22But because the fire was too fierce, they wanted to save people, but they couldn't get close.
01:28They could only pray for a heavy rain to give the children a chance to survive.
01:31But unfortunately, the miracle didn't happen.
01:34Among the dead in the fire, there were at least 10 children aged between 4 and 5.
01:41Rescue personnel said that because the fire started in front of the bus, the children instinctively fled to the bus.
01:48So they found dead bodies at the end of the bus.
01:53Because the fire was so fierce, they needed some time to identify themselves.
02:01As for the successful escape, many people were injured.
02:05Some children's faces, mouths and eyes were seriously burned.
02:09According to Thai media, the 48-year-old driver is missing and his cell phone is off.
02:15The police are currently looking for him.
02:19The prime minister of Thailand, Phetthong Thanh, also posted a statement on X-platform.
02:24He said that the government will pay medical expenses and compensate the families of the victims.
02:30Thailand is one of the countries with the worst road safety records in the world.
02:36Unsafe vehicles and poor driving are one of the reasons why the local death toll is so high.
02:42According to the World Health Organization,
02:44about 20,000 Thai people die every year in road traffic accidents,
02:48more than 50 people a day on average.
