Deadly Bus Crash Results in Six Fatalities from Killer Bee Stings
TL;DR
Six people, including an 8-year-old girl, were killed by a swarm of Africanized bees after a bus they were riding in plunged into a ravine in Nicaragua. The bus disturbed a hive of the deadly insects, causing the passengers to be repeatedly stung. The Africanized honey bee is considered far more dangerous than single-breed honey bees because they react to disturbances 10 times faster and can sting up to 10 times more. The incident left a further 14 passengers severely injured.
