Bus full of children catches fire during rush hour in London

A bus full of children caught fire in the middle of the morning rush hour on Friday morning in London.

Firefighters were dispatched to the scene in the Hackney area, where six other vehicles were damaged.

Striking footage shows the bus engulfed in flames with thick clouds of smoke.

Another video reveals the devastating remains of the burnt-out bus after the flames and charred debris were extinguished.

All children were taken to safety during the incident and no injuries were reported.

“This morning a fire broke out on a school bus in Hackney. The cause of the fire has not yet been determined,” the Hackney Councilman tweeted.

It was a neighborhood resident who alerted the authorities around 8:15 a.m.

“We see the school bus pass by our house every day. We then saw streams of photos informing us that the bus was on fire, ”reports the neighbor.

“All the children have been removed [de l’autobus en flammes] very quickly, it was everyone’s main concern,” she says.
