At least 26 dead as bus plunges into ravine in Philippines
At least 26 people died when the brakes on the bus they were travelling in apparently failed and plunged into a deep ravine in the northern Philippines.
The rest of the more than 50 passengers were retrieved by rescuers who struggled with ropes to descend down the 24-metre-deep ravine to reach the wreckage in Nueva Ecija province's Carranglan town, said disaster-response officer Mark Raymond Cano.
