29th October 2016, Taiwan - A tourist bus burst into flames on the highway, killing 26 passengers on board, 3 thought to be children. The dead are thought to be Taiwanese and Chinese nationals. I don't recall seeing this, so apologies if it's a repost.

It happened on 19 July 2016: eyewitnesses said the bus had been giving off smoke and swerving from lane to lane prior to crashing and bursting into flames.
Some said that the driver may have forgot to loosen the hydraulic brake system, so the overheating finally led to a brake failure (which would explain the smoke prior to the impact); other speculated that the circuit fire erupted from the water dispenser and Karaoke equipment near the driver's seat (same as above, but less likely), but there was no official word on the cause of the fire AFAIK.
All them lost their lives because both of the bus' doors were pressed against the highway's guard rail, making them impossible to open, plus emergency door handles may have been distorted by heat. What a shitty way to go.

The emergency doors and exits were blocked or unusable, they had no way of escaping. Poor people. Absolutely horrific way to go.

There are big windows on coaches which can be smashed.
