BANGKOK (AP) — A huge fire tore through a music bar in Bangkok overnight, killing at least 27 people and leaving 25 hospitalized in critical condition in the Thai capital’s most deadly blaze in 17 years.
Photos from the Rong Beer Na Ladprao bar in a northern part of the Thai capital showed people fleeing as flames shot out the single-story building and thick black smoke billowed into the sky. Shoes lost and scattered as their owners sought to flee could be seen in pictures from the aftermath of the tragedy.
🇹🇭🚨‼️ INSANE FIRE IN BANGKOK CLUB!
Flames shot 20 meters (65 feet) out of the entrance. People inside had no chance.
Unfortunately, at least 29 dead.
What caused such a raging fire shooting into the streets? That’s insane. pic.twitter.com/5PvKd25wrG
