Among the dead were 18 members of a single family, including a retired railway employee and his family. However, a 24-year-old Hyderabad man, Mohammad Abdul Shoeb, miraculously escaped with severe injuries after jumping out of the bus window seconds before it caught fire. According to relatives, Shoeb was wide awake during the journey, unlike the other passengers, and had moved to the seat next to the driver. His alertness likely saved his life as he was able to jump out of the window along with the driver. Shoeb, who was on a pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia with his parents and other family members, sustained injuries in the crash and is currently in the Intensive Care Unit at a German Hospital in Madinah. The tragic incident has left many families in Hyderabad reeling in shock and grief. Syed Rashid, whose 18 family members were among the dead, expressed his sorrow and regret, saying he had advised them not to travel together, especially with children, but they did not heed his warning. Relatives of the pilgrims are anxiously waiting for news of their loved ones, with some rushing to Haj House and travel operator offices to seek information. The bus was carrying passengers from various travel agencies, including Al Meena Travel Agency, which had 20 passengers on the ill-fated journey. The agency's representative confirmed that 16 of their passengers were on the bus, but their whereabouts are still unknown. The incident serves as a grim reminder of the risks and uncertainties involved in large-scale pilgrimages. As the investigation into the crash continues, families are left to grapple with the devastating loss of their loved ones. The lone survivor's miraculous escape serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of being vigilant and prepared in the face of unexpected disasters."
