We had this in the locality. Several schoolchildren and teachers (including a principal) died in a field trip to Batangas. Did we stop this or took safety measures to prevent similar incidents. I believe from the number of buses Ii still see on the road, the practice continues.
And so we had 25 dead,children and teachers from a fire running on LPG in Thailand. Then we see video of enumeration of safety features of buses.
Some interim measures are in order:
1. Stop field trips immediately.
2. Subject buses to be used for safety inspection and upgrade, retrofitted with safety features.
3. There should be a reminder of safety feature of the bus before each trip, and safety cards at the seat.
4. Training of bus personnel on safety and evacuation during fires.
5. Rule out buses that are deemed dangerous eg running on LPG, on hydrogen, on EVs unless they can be proven that they are fire proof.
