Rescuers could not rescue the drowned children and teachers because of the freezing river. Divers were able to dive deep to recover the remaining bodies. The death toll has now risen.
The bodies of a teacher and one skipper were also pulled from the water bringing the death toll to 51. Scores died in the blast on Monday, now, school children.
Every time a body was recovered from the scene, they would jump onto the diver to see if it was their son and every time we would hear them screaming in pain and anguish. A diver explained.
Our condolence to the bereaved families. Death is but a portal to the bosom of Allah. Until we meet again, rest in peace to all gone souls.
