The bus was engulfed in flames, causing a 17-mile (27km) tailback on the Interstate 45 highway, the main route north from the Gulf Coast to Dallas. Police spokesman Don Peritz said early indications were that the cause of the bus fire was mechanical. The vehicle was reportedly carrying about 44 passengers. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4275484.stm Dear List Members, Dasha was Ve/Sa/Ve/Ve/Me.
