A bus full of children caught fire in the middle of the morning rush hour in London on Friday morning.
Firefighters were dispatched to the scene in the Hackney area where six other vehicles were damaged.
Striking footage shows the bus on fire with thick plumes of smoke.
Another video shows the devastating remains of the burned-out bus after the flames and charred debris were extinguished.
All children were taken to safety during the incident and no injuries were reported.
“A fire broke out on a school bus in Hackney this morning. The cause of the fire has not yet been determined,” Hackney City Council tweeted.
It was a neighborhood resident who alerted authorities around 8:15 a.m.
“We see the school bus driving past our house every day. We then saw streams of images that informed us that the bus was on fire,” reports the neighbor.
“All the children have been removed [de l’autobus en flammes] Very quickly, it became everybody’s main concern,” she says.
