45 North Macedonia tourists burnt to death as bus catches fire in Bulgaria
Fifty two passengers were on board, including the driver. Seven people who
jumped out of the burning bus are undergoing treatment in a hospital in
Bulgarian Capital Sofia. They are out of danger. The tourists were returning from
Istanbul. Bulgaria has the second-highest road fatality rate in Europe.
SOFIA (Bulgaria), Nov 24: Forty five passengers, including 12 children, were
burnt to death on Tuesday when their bus caught fire on a highway in western
Bulgaria early on Tuesday.
Seven people who jumped out of the burning bus were rescued and were undergoing
treatment in a Sofia hospital. The passengers were tourists from North Macedonia's
ethnic Albanian community. Fifty two people were on board including the driver.
Most of the victims were tourists from North Macedonia, an official from the
country's embassy told BTV, where the bus was registered and the driver was
from. It was one of four travelling together.
They were returning to North Macedonia Capital Skopje, after a weekend holiday
trip to Istanbul in Turkey, said North Macedonian Foreign Minister Bujar Osman.
Bulgaria's Interior Minister Boyko Rashkov told reporters at the site, "The
picture is terrifying, terrifying. I have never seen anything like that before."
The bus appeared to have struck a road barrier either before or after it caught
fire. "I am terrified. This is such a huge tragedy," North Macedonian Prime
Minister Zoran Zaev told BTV. He said he had spoken to one of the survivors
who told him passengers were sleeping when they were woken by the sound of an
explosion.
The seven survivors - two women and five men - receiving treatment were all
in a stable condition, and one had a broken leg.
Bulgarian Interim Prime Minister Stefan Yanev visited the crash site and described
the incident as "a huge tragedy".
Bulgaria has the second-highest road fatality rate in the 27-nation European
Union, with 89 people killed per million, according to European Commission data.
WHAT TO DO, WHEN... : IndiaTravelTimes does not guarantee the
authenticity of the video (above) of the episode of the flight turbulence at
Durgapur airport on May 1, yet this is being put out with a view to
familiarising the ordinary fliers with such probabilities lest they are
caught unawares and fail to react rationally to handle such terrible
situations. The 'eternity' can last up to 15 minutes. Tighten your belts,
believe in your pilot and shift your thoughts to reduce disabling anxieties!
Rest assured, the aircraft can rock and fall but not more than a hundred
feet anyway.
During the event, nearly 50 other people, including bull tamers and spectators,
were also injured. Jallikattu is a bull-taming sport, which has been part of the

Whole localities are sent into quarantine in China using force if someone is
symptomatic of covid. The quarantines are metal boxes set up in far away
camps. The authoritarian regime is resorting to draconian methods to check a
new wave of the epidemic in the country that has already locked down three
cities currently. On the other hand, the US presents a contrasting scenario
where in the name freedom large sections of people refuse vaccination and
assault health workers who mandate the covid restrictions.

Can we ask the vaccinator, "Do you pull back the plunger and
then push the vaccine? Do you Aspirate?" When the vaccination
for covid started there were reports of worrisome incidents of
adverse events post immunisation, the serious complaints being
non-specific blood clots. These related to viral vector vaccines of
human and non-human source: AstraZeneca and Janssen. How
did it happen. There are various views. But here is a suggestion
how simply it can be prevented.
Marking a fierce but interesting competition among the

first private space tourist nine days earlier than his rival.
