Swiss Coach Crash

We are reporting on a recent incident in Switzerland, the collision of a coach into a concrete wall where by 22 students and 6 staff members lost their lives. The coach was returning 11 and 12 year old students after a week away on a skiing trip. Devastated family members flew into Switzerland today to identify loved ones. The survivors are all seriously injured and one witness described what she saw as something worthy of a “horror movie.” Emergency workers struggled to pull victims from the crumpled mess. One final posting on a blog used to keep in touch with parents read, “Dearest mum and dad … the skiing is good. But I miss you so much…”

Reported by Kate and Kennedy.
