North Korea bus crash kills 32 Chinese touristsA tour bus has crashed in North Korea, killing 36 people including 32 Chinese nationals, Chinese officials say. Chinese state media footage showed the blue tour bus completely flipped over, with part of its body broken. Experts estimate that Chinese tourists make up 80% of foreign tourists to North Korea - providing an important source of currency for Pyongyang. Earlier, Chinese state broadcaster CGTN tweeted that more than 30 Chinese nationals had been killed after the bus plunged off a bridge - however, the post was later deleted. There are no official tourist numbers for North Korea, but it is estimated that about 100,000 foreigners visit the country each year.
