Sivakasi fire: Gutted fireworks unit resembles battleground
Wednesday, September 5, 2012
Bodies burnt beyond recognition and scores of injured
lying all round presented a gory picture of a
battleground at a nearby fireworks unit where a massive
fire broke out in which 52 people perished.
Intermittent explosions were heard and flames threatened
to engulf nearby buildings as rescuers fought thick
plumes of smoke to reach those trapped.
Shocked people huddled in groups and some carried those
with severe burns to ambulances, which were rushed to the
spot soon after the incident at Omshakti Fireworks.
A thick pall of smoke engulfed the area and was visible
from a distance of over 1.5 km.
