2013 Pakistan gas bus explosion occurred on 25 May 2013 after a gas cylinder exploded in a school minivan heading towards Gujrat in Pakistan. The blast killed at least 17 people, including 16 children and a bus driver, and another 7 children were wounded.[1][2][3][4] The children were aged between 6 and 12.[5][6]
Cause
The fire was reportedly caused by a spark when the driver of the dual-fuel bus switched from gas to petrol.[1] Officials said a short-circuit near a leaking petrol tank started the blaze. Earlier reports blamed an exploding natural gas cylinder.[6]
