SHIMLA: At least 30 people, including 27 children, were killed Monday in northern India when a school bus plunged into a deep ravine in the Himalayan foothills, police said. The bus carrying young students in Himachal Pradesh state flew off a cliff near Nurpur, about 325 kilometres (200 miles) from the state capital Shimla, and crashed into a valley. So far 17 bodies have been recovered from the crash site in the northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. Last month, a truck carrying a wedding party drove off a bridge in western India killing 30 people, mostly women and children. Nine children were killed in February when a vehicle crashed into them outside their school in an apparent hit-and-run.
