| Description | These five junior high school students died sitting in an orderly manner within a fire cistern. With their close-cropped hair, these children were thought to be still-innocent first-year students. The fire cistern was around one by two meters with a depth of 90 centimeters. Although their heads were submerged 5 cm under the water level, their bodies showed no signs of burns or other major injuries. It is still a mystery as to how they died in such shallow water. |
