Sri Lanka, Sept. 5 -- Explaining her tragic experience, a survivor of the Ella bus accident said that the conductor of the bus had shouted and said all to go down and hold tight as the brake system of the bus had failed.

A Tangalle Municipal employee who survived the accident said that soon after the message, the bus crashed onto the safety fence twice with a loud bang and plunged down the precipice.

"I was thrown out of the bus through a broken window," she said.
