A Taiwan tour bus carrying tourists from China crashed into a highway railing en route to the airport on Tuesday and burst into flames, killing all 26 on board, Taiwanese authorities said Tuesday. Taiwan is a popular destination for mainland tourists, who provide a major source of tourism revenue for the island. Taiwan authorities were investigating. The bus was carrying 24 tourists on an eight-day tour organized by a travel agency in China's northeastern province of Liaoning, authorities said in a statement. Traffic accidents in Taiwan involving Chinese tourists are not uncommon.
