This really very shocking news from the hills of north India, a Bus carrying about 50 passengers plunged in deep gorge, due to negligence of driver, who was trying to change the CD .This love of music , in these beautiful valleys of Himalaya , killed 46 innocent lives.
Forty-six people were killed when a bus plunged down a deep gorge in Himachal Pradesh after the driver lost control while changing the music, officials said on Tuesday.
The bus was travelling between two tourist resorts in Himachal Pradesh when it veered off the road 16 km east of Shimla, a state government official said.
Forty-six people were killed and four people critically injured, said Joginder Singh Rana, Shimla's deputy commissioner. The army was carrying out rescue operations, he added.
"The bus driver's attention was diverted as he was changing a CD in the music system and the bus was also going at a very high speed," he said, citing witnesses.
Reckless driving and poor road conditions frequently cause accidents with high death tolls in India. In October, at least 23 people died in a bus crash in Assam.

http://westsounds.com claims to have a simply enormous catalog - over 200,000 albums online. This seemingly extensive catalog contains not just the latest and greatest, but also older tracks too - which lots of people (like me) are shopping for. I have had a tendency to lose CD's over the years, so this is a good way for me to reclaim (cheaply) the music I've already bought in the past.
