fire erupted on a school bus after it backed into a ditch in western Iowa early Tuesday Cheap Houston Astros Jersey , killing a student and the bus driver, investigators said.
No one else was on the bus when the fire erupted around 7 a.m. southeast of Oakland, which is about 35 miles (56 kilometers) east of Omaha, Nebraska.
Investigators said the bus caught fire after it backed out of a farm driveway and into a ditch across the road. The bus was engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived.
The remains of the driver and a student were found after the fire was extinguished Cheap Kansas City Royals Jersey , Pottawattamie County Sheriff's Lt. Rob Ambrose said. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
Initial reports on the fire indicated that as many as 20 people may have been on the bus, but Ambrose said only the student and the driver who were killed were in the bus at the time of the fire.
Authorities identified the driver as Donnie Hendricks, 74, of Carson Cheap Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Jersey , Iowa. The student was identified as Megan Klindt, 16. She lived at the farm where the fire happened.
The bus was from the Riverside Community School District, which has about 700 students from Oakland and two other nearby towns. District officials said grief counselors were available Tuesday to help students and staff cope with the deaths.
"This morning, the Riverside Community School District suffered a tragedy when we lost a student and an employee in a school bus accident Cheap Los Angeles Dodgers Jersey ," Superintendent Timothy Mitchell said in a statement. "Our hearts go out to their families and loved ones."
The district didn't cancel classes following news of the fire, but it postponed all after-school activities scheduled for Tuesday.
Bailey Rose, 18, told the Omaha World-Herald she took a weightlifting class with Klindt last year and remembers her caring and energetic nature.
"I know it's even harder for family members to deal with that kind of loss Cheap Miami Marlins Jersey ," Rose said. "Friends are dealing with it hard, but family is dealing with it harder."

TEHRAN， Dec. 6 (Xinhua) -- Iran's Foreign Ministry on Tuesday refuted the spying charges by Saudi Arabia as politically-motivated and unfounded allegations， semi-official ISNA news agency reported.
"The Islamic republic has never had non-diplomatic activities in Saudi Arabia， and baseless and unfounded charges are politically-motivated and lies，" Bahram Qasemi said in a reaction to a recent verdict by a Saudi court against some people on charges of spying for Iran.
"Saudi Arabia should not seek to accuse Iran of unsubstantiated charges for some political gains and raising tension in the region，" he said， adding that fabricating such allegations is not in the interests of the region.
A Saudi court on Tuesday sentenced 15 people to death on charges of spying for Iran， Al Arabiya news reported.
The convicts are part of a network of 32 people. Two were acquitted and 15 others were handed down jail terms ranging from six months to 25 years， the report said.
Saudi Arabia has been accusing Iran of standing behind regional disturbances by interfering in the internal affairs of countries， such as Bahrain and Yemen， allegations that have been dismissed by Iran.
Saudi Arabia cut its ties with Iran earlier this year and asked its envoy to leave the country.
First of all, why choose Broadcasting? Well, aside from athletes Cheap Milwaukee Brewers Jersey , Broadcasting carries prestige as one of the most in-demand of sports jobs. In fact, in the US alone there are over 200 applicants for a single opening in the sports media industry. If you want a Broadcasting job, there are some ways to go about it:
1.Try to narrow down your search for sports jobs. Do you want to be in front of the camera as a Broadcaster per se? Or would you accept any other support positions (including writers, cameramen Cheap Minnesota Twins Jersey , and control room personnel?) Though you might not get the sports jobs you look for, the industry is vast enough to accommodate many, many people.
2.It helps to know what your qualifications are for sports jobs. Are you relatively pleasant to look at? Look at the Broadcasters who are now employed in the industry ? are any of them ugly (or at least, unpleasant looking?) Secondly Cheap New York Mets Jersey , do you have a better than average knowledge of any field of sports? A Broadcaster does not simply read statistics from a teleprompter. You may need to make informed and knowledgeable comments about the sport (or sports) that you will be required to cover. The most esteemed Broadcasters are considered authorities in at least one field of sports. Third, do you write well? A Broadcaster needs great writing skills because you may be asked to write your own sports stories too. Fourth, a Broadcaster needs to speak well without any disturbing mannerisms that just plain look bad on TV. If you are on radio, you may not need to be particularly good-looking but definitely you need to speak very well.
3.Are you willing to submit a demo tape (audio and video combined) to your potential employers so they can see how you perform? This is like a preparation for the real thing Cheap New York Yankees Jersey , but the advantage is you can always do the performance over if you (or whoever is helping you) is not satisfied with one take. If the employer likes your tape, then it is on to #4.
4.Do you have the guts (and the skills) to follow through with a real Broadcasting test? This means actually being on camera in a real television studio, or behind the mike in a radio broadcasting studio, so the people who might hire you can see how you perform under pressure. Remember Cheap Oakland Athletics Jersey , there may not be a second chance if you flub on this opportunity, so make it good.
5.What is your asking price? A rule of thumb is that newbies do not get paid as much as seasoned Broadcasters ? just like in any other industry. Though the experienced ones may not be so willing to divulge to an appli.
