I can't think of many worse ways to die. Especially if you are foreigner visiting.
Sorry, no pics. I'm sure some of you want to see photos of the burnt bus.

BEIJING (AP) — Local authorities say 26 people have been killed and 28 injured after a tour bus caught fire on a highway in central China’s Hunan province.
The provincial spokesman’s office said Saturday that five of those injured were in critical condition.
The incident occurred at around 7:15 p.m. (1115 GMT) Friday along a stretch of Hanshou County in the city of Changde. Aboard were 56 people, including 53 passengers, a tour guide and two drivers, both of whom have been detained as authorities investigate the cause of the accident. Changde authorities put the number of injured at 30.
Photos from the scene show the 59-seater bus’s interior completely charred, possibly indicating the fire started with materials on board. Industrial and transport safety remain major problems in China

After all the trips I've made to China, I'm honestly happy about the fact that I never died over there, as there were moments in Chinese taxis where I literally had my own "Jesus take the wheel" moments.

Somebody's getting a bullet in the head over this.

Don't they have a drill for these sort of events?

Seriously? Who cares about a bus crash in China? Is this really worthy of a thread?

Right. 28 chinamen die in factories every hour but the msm refuses to cover this.

I suffered significant burns to my legs several years ago and there is no greater pain. So yeah being burned to death has got to be the worst way to go out

Well it involved drinking and a bonfire. That’s really all I remember.
The dr scraping between each of my toes was excruciating.

You’re a good dude Walt.

What's crazy is they all initially made it out of the bus unscathed, but they just ran around the bus and darted right back in.
