Rescue teams including navy divers in Bangladesh have recovered 24 bodies from a bus that plunged into a river at a ferry crossing, officials said on Thursday.
The bus sank into the deep waters of the Padma river in Goalanda on Wednesday, about 65km (40 miles) west of the capital Dhaka. It had around 50 passengers on board, many of whom managed to escape.
A fire service report said that 24 bodies, including those of five children, had been recovered by midday on Thursday.

“The bus was waiting to board a ferry, when it fell into the river,” said Noor Jahan Begum, 35, who saw the accident.
