    The Tragedy – Santika Pub, Bangkok

     
    Picture: Rescuers and police officers placed the victims' bodies in rows in the parking lot in front of the nightclub today. Other bodies are believed to still be in the club, which was packed with about 1,000 celebrants, according to police officers (AFP) I used to go there, Santika, one of the most famous pubs in Aekamai Road, Bkk. It was established in 2003 and 31-Dec-08 is the last day of its business because of the land rental contact is expired!!! The Tragedy happened when one of the visitors bring the fireworks and set it on fire on the midnight of New Year. So the club was on fire. Unfortunately, most people didn't realize that there is a door on the back of the club. So, they tried to get out of it via the front doors. Stepping on each other, choking the smoke and lacking of oxygen killed 59 people and hurt 200 of them (1 of them is the victim from Singapore). Polices and Rescuers tried their best in order to help the baits but there is still a big toll. See More: http://winnlpnews.blogspot.com/2009/01/tragedy-santika-pub-bangkok.html Thanks
