LOMMEL-KOLONIE, Belgium — In this tidy town on the Belgian-Dutch border, children at the ’t Stekske elementary school would dream from first grade on about the annual ski trip to the Alps, recalled Vicki Emmers, 28, a former pupil.

But on Wednesday, this grieving community, and the town of Heverlee, Belgium, home to the Sint-Lambertus school, grappled with the horrific truth: this year, the beloved ritual ended with the death of 22 children around the age of 12, and six adults, in the smashed metal wreckage of a bus that inexplicably careened into the wall of a tunnel in southern Switzerland.

and there was ONE paper that reported that the newtown one was 22 for a short while.
i need to find that link.

then 22 in china.

we have a 22 children theme going here.
