At least 10 dead after bus blaze outside Bangkok A bus filled with school students and teachers has caught fire in Thailand. Authorities say at least 10 people are dead.

The blaze broke out around noon Tuesday on the outskirts of Bangkok. More than 40 people were onboard for a field trip.

Details such as the ages of the students were not known.

Emergency responders were seen attempting to recover those left in the bus.

A male witness said, “I saw people trying to help, bringing chemicals to stop the fire. But it spread too fast, and could not be controlled.”

Officials say the fire likely started after a wheel broke and the bus hit a barrier.
