Rescuers have recovered 24 bodies from the wreckage of a bus swallowed by a Mexico landslide, as a plane smashed into a busy road elsewhere in the country, killing nine people.
Local authorities say up to 60 people were killed in Wednesday's landslide and there is little hope there are any survivors.
Emergency workers have spent the night digging up the bus with the help of the army in the central state of Puebla.
The victims were mostly students and farmers, whose ages ranged between six and 44.
Puebla Governor Mario Marin says the first body, of a 40-year-old woman, was recovered by rescuers more than 12 hours after the accident late on Wednesday.
A further 13 were recovered in the morning, among them six men, two women, two children and three who have not yet been identified.
The bus was completely engulfed in mud, earth and rocks in a sudden landslide on Wednesday morning (local time) near the mountain village of Zacacoapan, in the Sierra Negra area of Puebla.
Plane crash
Meanwhile, a cargo plane smashed into a busy road, hitting vehicles and killed nine people after failing to take off in north-western Mexico.
Local government spokesman Oscar Rivera says the plane broke through a wall, hitting a military truck and a car after failing to take off at the Culiacan airport in the Pacific coast state of Sinaloa.
"The plane was not able to take off and because the airport is in the middle of an urban area, it crashed on a busy road," he said.
Mr Rivera says the plane, owned by a mail courier company, failed to take off because of a mechanical problem and the pilot was unable to control the aircraft.
He says the victims include the plane's three crew members and four people who were travelling in a car.
Two soldiers who were guarding the airport for the arrival of President Felipe Calderon were also killed.
Mr Calderon cancelled his planned trip to Sinaloa state after the accident.

Nine people have been killed when a cargo plane failed to take off correctly at Culiacán Airport in Culiacán, Sinaloa, Mexico yesterday.

The plane, owned by a mail courier company, is thought to have blown a tire during the take-off procedure, causing it to run off the end of the runway and break through a wall. It then crashed onto an adjacent highway, killing three crew members aboard the aircraft and six people on the road.

The six included two members of a security presence for Mexican President Felipe Calderón, who was due to arrive shortly after the incident for a day visit. A family of four were also killed when their car was engulfed by flames that were trailing the aircraft.

The President, who was in a plane en route to Culiacán at the time of the incident, cancelled his visit after hearing the news.

The accident comes during the rescue attempts following landslides in the central state of Puebla. Up to 60 people were killed in the slide the day prior to the Culiacán incident, according to local authorities.
