Thirty-two feared dead in Malaysian hilltop bus crash

Kuala Lumpur: A bus travelling from the Malaysian hilltop gambling resort of Genting Highlands to the capital Kuala Lumpur plunged 200 feet into a ravine today, killing as many as 32 people, officials said.

Rescue workers had taken 17 survivors to hospital, but said 32 passengers were still in the wreckage.

"Our early observations indicate they are all dead," Federal Territory Fire and Rescue assistant director Azizan Ismail said in a statement.
