Bar fire kills 13 at birthday party in France
Through the shattered front ******* of the Au Cuba Libre bar in Rouen melted stools and scorched liquor bottles were visible, as tearful mourners hugged each other and brought flowers to the scene. The dead were between aged between 16 and 25. One one of the six injured was in a life threatening condition in hospital. Authorities said the bar had been crowded with young partygoers. Prime Minister Manuel Valls expressed "deep sadness at the tragedy that claimed 13 young lives". Local deputy prosecutor Laurent Labadie told AFP the blaze, which began around midnight (2200 GMT Friday) in the bar’s basement, was triggered accidentally. "Someone came down with a birthday cake with candles and fell down the stairs," Labadie said, citing initial investigation findings. "The candles were thrown onto the walls and ceiling, where there was soundproofing material. There was an immediate conflagration and gas was released." Police said earlier that the flames had ignited polystyrene on the ceiling of the basement room, releasing a toxic mix of gasses that poisoned the victims. One witness, who gave her name as Stephanie, 36, described the moment the fire took hold. "I was at the bar on the ground floor having a drink, when we saw the flames -- it was like a flame-thrower, everything happened so fast," she told reporters. One of the injured was in a critical condition, the secretary general of the Seine-Maritime prefecture Yvan Cordier told AFP. French President Francois Hollande voiced his sympathy for the victims’ families and said "everything would be done" to find out what caused the fire. أكثر... ??????? ??????: Bar fire kills 13 at birthday party in France || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
