Children stand next to flowers laid in honour of the 33 chlidren burnt to death inside a school bus in Fundacion, department of Magdalena, Colombia, mourn at the site of the accident on May 19, 2014. Colombians expressed horror Monday after 33 children burnt to death when an overcrowded bus burst into flames and the driver fled the scene, pursued by a mob that stoned his house. Fundacion Mayor Luz Stella Duran said another 20 were hospitalized. Most of the injured have second- or third-degree burns. According to a witness, the bus went up in flames as the driver, who lost two of his own children in the tragedy, refuelled it with a jerrycan. The children, aged between three and 12 years old, were returning from evangelical church services in the small northern town of Fundacion.
