Eight years after the Karatu school bus tragedy, Tanzania continues to remember the 32 children, two teachers, and driver who lost their lives.
Students from Lucky Vincent Primary School in Arusha were traveling to a mock national examination when their bus crashed on a rain-soaked road in Karatu and plunged into a ravine. The tragedy sparked nationwide mourning, with vigils and tributes held across the country.
Three students survived and were later flown to the United States for medical treatment. Their survival became a symbol of hope amid heartbreaking loss.
Today, the tragedy remains a powerful reminder of road safety and the lives lost.
