Bus crash in Philippines kills 35, but 8 survive
None
A packed passenger bus negotiating a downhill curve plunged off a Philippine mountain highway into a 100-foot (30-meter) ravine Wednesday, killing 35 people in one of the country's worst recent accidents, police said.
About eight other passengers, including a 10-year-old boy, were pulled alive from the twisted wreckage, said police chief Wilben Mayor of Benguet province north of Manila. Mayor said most of the victims were pinned to death while others were thrown out as the bus tumbled down. (AP)
