60 feared killed after landslide engulfs bus in Mexico


As many as sixty people were feared dead early yesterday after a landslide swallowed a bus in Puebla state in central Mexico.

Emergency workers expressed little hope of recovering any survivors, as the army worked alongside them overnight at the sight of the accident to dig up the bus.

The first body, of a 40-year-old woman, was recovered by rescuers late Wednesday more than 12 hours after the accident, announced Mario Marin, the governor of Puebla.
