Bangkok: Rescuers pulled children's bodies from the charred wreckage of a Thai school bus Tuesday after an accident turned the vehicle into an inferno, with more than 20 feared dead.
A devastating blaze tore through the coach on a highway in a northern Bangkok suburb as it carried 38 children -- ranging from kindergarten age to young teenagers -- and six teachers on a school trip.
The victims' bodies were so badly burned that officials say it is not yet possible to confirm the death toll, with DNA testing needed to identify remains.
Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said 21 people escaped from the blaze but 23 are still unaccounted for and likely to be dead.
