Bottled gasoline on Taiwan bus may have worsened fire, probe finds

Investigators said late on Sunday that five plastic bottles filled with gasoline may have exacerbated a bus fire that claimed the lives of all 26 passengers on board on July 19.

They maintained that human error may have caused or worsened the inferno.

A bus with 24 mainland tourists, along with the driver and a Taiwan tour guide, crashed last week into the outer edge of a guardrail.
