Fire at Bangkok pub kills dozens and injures many more
At least 27 people were killed and 63 others were injured, including 22 in critical condition, after a massive fire broke out at the Na Ladprao pub in Bangkok.
The blaze was brought under control in about 35 minutes, but not before it claimed dozens of lives.
Witnesses said smoke was first seen near a circuit breaker before an explosion triggered a blackout and rapidly filled the venue with thick smoke.
Several people reportedly ran towards the toilets and rear sections of the pub, where they became trapped.
