Guest guest Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Friday, 20 October 2006, 05:18 GMT 06:18 UK India bus plunge kills 56 people Police in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh say 56 people have been killed after a passenger bus plunged into a lake near the city of Rewa. Senior police official B Maria Kumar said the 40-seater bus hit a tree and fell into the lake on Thursday after a possible failure of its brakes. Nine of the passengers on the bus managed to either swim to safety or were rescued by divers. Road accidents are common and claim hundreds of lives every year in India. Most accidents are blamed on reckless driving, old and overcrowded vehicles, and poorly maintained roads. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/6068694.stm Dasha: Ve/Me/Su/Sa/Sa  satva Jorge Angelino Rua da Sociedade Filarmónica Perpétua Azeitonense, 29 2925-598 Azeitão Portugal jorge.angelino mobile: Skype ID: +351963916784 jorge_angelino Add me to your address book...
