Days of rainfall preceded the accidents. First incidentA passenger bus left Kathmandu on the morning of 15 August 2016, en route to Madan Kundari {{convert|55|mi|km|0|order=flip}} away in Kavrepalanchok District in central Nepal. Many were survivors of the Nepalese earthquakes of April 2015 and May 2015. Some of them were returning to their village to collect government grants to rebuild their destroyed homes that they mistakenly thought were going to be paid there. Others mistakenly thought they had only a few days left before a deadline to return to their village to sign papers to receive the grants. Overcrowding on Nepalese buses is common; as the bus travelled along its route more people boarded until many were seated on the roof and in the aisle. It was reported that almost 90 people were on the 35-seat bus. At about 1:30{{nbsp}}p.m. the bus stalled as it climbed a hill on a muddy road near Birtadeurali and rolled backwards off the road and down the hillside, falling more than {{convert|300|m}}. Some people survived by jumping off the roof before the bus fell.[3] At least 27 to at least 33 people were killed and at least 38 to 42 were injured. The driver of the bus survived and was found in a tree.[4] An investigation was launched to see why the driver lost control and whether the brakes failed.[4] Second incidentThe second incident occurred near Siddheshwar in Baitadi District, in far-western Nepal. At about 3:30{{nbsp}}p.m. on 15 August, another bus slipped off of a high mountain road, falling {{convert|200|m}} and killing at least three to four people while injuring thirty.[5][6] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.cnn.com/2016/08/15/asia/nepal-bus-wreck/index.html|title=Nepal bus crash kills at least 33|first=Sugam |last=Pokharel|publisher=CNN}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/31-killed-in-nepal-road-accident/article8991184.ece|title=31 killed in Nepal road accident|date=15 August 2016|publisher=The Hindu}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.pri.org/stories/2016-08-17/nepal-quake-survivors-were-killed-bus-crash|title=Nepal quake survivors were killed in a bus crash|website=www.pri.org}} 4. ^1 {{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/17/world/asia/nepal-earthquake-survivors-bus-crash.html|title=Bus of Nepal Earthquake Survivors Plunges Off a Road, Killing 27|date=17 August 2016|work=The New York Times}} 5. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1000651.shtml|title=29 people killed in two separate bus accidents in Nepal|work=Global Times}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://thehimalayantimes.com/nepal/four-killed-baitadi-bus-accident/|title=Four killed, other 14 injured in Baitadi bus accident|date=15 August 2016|work=Himalayan Times}} 6 : 2016 road incidents|Bus incidents in Nepal|2016 in Nepal|Kavrepalanchok District|Baitadi District|August 2016 events in Asia |
