We don’t know for sure what caused the fire yet, but it looks like a problem with a tire might have set off a chain reaction with the gas canisters on the bus.
This has made a lot of people worried about how safe things are in Thailand’s buses, leading the government to look into it and make new rules.
The loss of so many kids and teachers has really affected Thailand.
As the country comes together to grieve and help the families who lost loved ones, it’s a clear reminder of how important it is to keep everyone safe and to always be looking for ways to make public transportation better.
