    61 New Year's Revelers Dead in Bangkok Nightclub Fire

    By Spontaneous  |  Posted January 2, 2009  
     

    A fire raced through a two-story nightclub packed with hundreds of well-heeled New Year's revelers early Thursday, killing at least 61 people as they stampeded to escape the raging flames. More than 200 were injured, including 35 foreigners.  The cause of the fire in a Bangkok entertainment district was under investigation but several witnesses said a fireworks display during the New Year's countdown ignited the blaze.  A number of foreigners were among the casualties at the Santika Club, which attracted an affluent crowd of young Thais and foreigners.
