Today around 10.30 am there was a fire at this huge supermaket about 50 blocks from here. I could see the fire fomr my house.
The cealing fell down crushing people to death and the people were trapped inside, unable to get out because once the fire started the managers gace the brilliant order to lock all doors and don't let people out until they payed, to prevent stealing. 251 + dead because they locked the doors to prevent the people who were inside from stealing. THIS is a CRIME. The fire lasted for hours and the doors were not opened until the firemen arrived. Entire families were killed. the whole city is chaos. hospitals are fulls, they lack everything from the simplest nebulizer to doctors, hospital beds and medicine. pharmacies are sending donations from everywhere, private hospitals too, funal homes are donating cofens and places to bury peoople.
