what happened in venice italy today

According to the search results, a bus carrying foreign tourists, including Ukrainians, fell from an elevated street near the city of Venice, Italy, on Tuesday, October 3, 2023, killing at least 21 people and injuring 15 others. The bus crashed through an overpass guardrail and fence, plunging more than 10 meters (30 feet) to the ground. The tourists are all believed to have stayed at the Hu Venezia Camping in Town, just a 15-minute drive from the shuttle bus’s pickup point at Piazzale Roma, at the edge of Venice’s famed canals linked to the mainland by a bridge. The crash has shocked Venetians, two-thirds of whom live on the mainland. Many stopped on Wednesday morning to pay their respects, staring at the gaping guardrail and fence. The Veneto region declared three days of mourning, and flags were flown at half-staff at government buildings.
