    It could be there was no Oil in the engine, or a cable touch could also cause fire outbreak.

  • Mr. Oushuuuuu 11 years ago

    No oil cannot cause fire,it will cause engine seizure and damage.Touching wire can burn down a bus if the wire comes into contact with fuel,mind you this is diesel,maybe there was a leaking fuel and before diesel burns like t ...

    Do you know the cause of the fire? You cannot conclude that it was negligence on the part of the driver as the problem could develop after a pre-trip inspection. Thanks to God no one was injured.

  • Hebert, Sweden 11 years ago

    The Driver must be held responsible, he is found fault. How can you move a Vicle on such journey without a pre-check? He must be sacked and dealt with. Ghanaians go free always after serious cases like this nature, why? It is ...

    No wonder the bus caught fire. Why do you pack 83 people in one bus? Is it a train? Even a double-decker bus cannot take 83 people. Carelessness or ingnorance?

  • wheel 11 years ago

    You believe these cheap journalists and their figures? Imagine students looking for their belonging in a bus which was "completely burnt". Most of their stories are so absurd!!

  • Observer 11 years ago

    If a vehicle catches fire, one would suspect the first speculation by the Fire Service to be 'electrical fault' rsther than 'mechanical', until proper evidence is available. Our experts must learn how to tell 'nkontompo a ern ...

    God is great, Glory be to God, Ghanaians will cry loud only no one asks "where was God when the bus caught fire"?

  • ADABRAKA 11 years ago

    From Govt down to the street sweeper in Gh is characterised with negligence. We are the cause of our own problems.

  • wheel 11 years ago

    You are so honest to have included yourself as you fit somewhere between govt and street sweeper.

  • SENABA 11 years ago

    BAD JOURNALISM, POOR GRAMMAR AND MANUFACTURED STORIES IS ALL YOU GET FROM GHANA .NOTHING GOOD , JUST FUN IS ALL YOU GET FROM GHANA

  • Agyaagya 11 years ago

    Just go to the beginning of the story,EIGHT-THREE is not eighty-three,funny journalism we must do better than this.

  • Diana 11 years ago

    God love His children and delivers them from the hands of destroyers. When LMVC bombers were making their baseless claims and were mentioning that His Excellency JM is married to a Brong Ahafo and connecting it to Afari Djan, ...

    if the bus was completely burnt beyond recognition, how come that the students were able to retrieve some of their belongings after the Fire people killed the fire?

  • CHARCOAL SELLER. 11 years ago

    A bus driver is not a mechanic, if a school owns vehicles which they use for transporting students, they should employ a mechanic or contract with a mechanic shop for vehicle preventive maintenance.

    I agree that the bus se ...

  • SLY 11 years ago

    Yaw Nkrumah, driver of the bus, told the Times that he did not check the condition of the bus before moving it on the road because another driver had used the bus the day before and reported to him it was in good condition.

  • ROYAL 11 years ago

  • Kojovi 11 years ago

    Don't blame the driver, Ghana is under a spiritual curse due to the activities of some power drunk politicians, in attaining stolen power, period.

  • Wiseman 11 years ago

    I bet readers,the bus was made in China-may be "Yutong Bus"

  • Concerned citizen 11 years ago

    Is it 83 students, or 8-3 (8 to 3, 8-3(8 minus 3. Waiting for your response please, author!

  • No name 11 years ago

    Either 8-3 or 8 minus 3 is not the point. This could be a typo, however, the driver shouldn't have relied on the other driver's for his own and the passengers safety. The driver could have taken his time to do pre-inspection ...

    The bus was completely burnt beyond recognition and repairs. If indeed the bus was burnt beyond recognition, there was no need adding 'and repairs'. Whoever sent in the report could have enriched the story telling us what bus ...
