A bus traveling from Dhaka to Chittagong in Bangladesh ran off the road into a ditch and burst into flames igniting the fuel tank, which exploded. It was reported that the bus was attempting to overtake another vehicle. Over 40 people were killed, though some reports list it as many as 70. Many of the dead were charred beyond recognition, and it is unknown if an accurate number of dead will ever be known.
