Most of the passengers were of Chinese, Indian and Filipino ethnicity; many of the 54 on board were ejected as the windows shattered.

Five people have died after a tour bus on its way back from Niagara Falls crashed in New York state. All 54 people onboard were “ejected” or were trapped, police said, as rescuers scrambled to free passengers stuck beneath the coach.
