Taiwan bus inferno kills 26, mainly China tourists

A fire ripped through a bus carrying tourists from China in Taiwan Tuesday, killing all 26 on board in the worst road accident to hit mainland visitors since a holiday boom to the island. The disaster, which occurred as the tourists were heading to the airport for their flight home, was the latest in a series that have called into question Taiwan's safety record. Media footage showed the bus, with flames shooting from the front, rammed into an expressway barrier near Taipei.
