Sri Lanka, Sept. 5 -- Several photographs of the Tangalle Municipal Council employees, taken in Ella shortly before last night's tragic bus accident, were released to the media.

The images show the group of about 30 individuals posing together before departing Ella. Hours later, their excursion ended in tragedy when the private bus they were travelling in toppled down a 1,000-foot precipice along the Ella-Wellawaya main road.
