Switzerland Bus Crash Claims 28 Lives, Including 22 Children

A tour bus carrying schoolchildren home from a class trip slammed head-on into a tunnel wall in the Swiss Alps, killing 22 Belgian students and six adults and instantly changing a joyous skiing vacation into a tragedy spanning several European nations.
At least 28 people, 22 of them children, were killed after a bus carrying Belgian tourists crashed in southern Switzerland on Tuesday night. Twenty-four more children were injured.
Emergency services worked through much of the night to free those injured, who were taken by ambulances and helicopters to hospitals
The bus was carrying students from two towns – Lommel, east of Antwerp, and Heverlee, near Leuven. Two other buses, carrying students from schools in the Belgian towns of Beersel and Haasrode, arrived safely back in Belgium.

Tough times for a lot of families  
 They are in our thoughts and prayers.
