Diego

The newspaper was saying the guards barred the front exits at first (they thought it was something like a fight, not a fire) to keep people from leaving without paying their tab; there were no exits out the back & a lot of people got trapped; and most people died of asphyxiation (from the smoke, not actually getting burned). Terrible, horrible story.

There are strict laws here as well but no inspection (they will want to change the law though, they always do. And the new law will not have inspection as well)

There was almost the same tragedy happened in Russia, 2009: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lame_Horse_fire. Horrible .
