This is mainly for current news and for learning English. So, for learning English and better understanding, the hard coded subtitles have also been added in this video. 25 died and 100 others were wounded in the FR Tower fire at Banani. All these corpses were indentified and 24 were handed over to their families. Only the dead body of the Srilankan national is yet to be handed over. There are a number of reasons why there were so many casualities. The number one reason was that the emergency exit was under lock and key as found by the fire service teams. The other important reason was of the scarecity of water as realised by those who were involved in extinguising the devastating fire. 21 fireservice units started extinguishing the fire. Later, army, navy and airforce also joined the operation. Helicopters were also trying hard to contribute to the extinguishing work and rescuing the victims. The fire broke out at 12:50pm. After a lot of efforts, it came under control after 4 hours at 4:45pm. There should have been two stairs instead of one as over 500 people can work in the high-rise building. It is 22 storey but it had the permission for 18 storeys. So, the 4 floors at the top was out of the permission. Still one thing was good that the roof was not locked as we heard the finance director Sejuti Doula said. First, they were taking downstairs but had to retreat. It was full of smoke, totally dark and a bit narrow. They took upstairs and went to the roof and then they managed to get to the adjacent building. Yet another reason of so many deaths is that including Srilankan national Niresh Chandra 6/7 persons were seen jumping down to escape death. It fears some died as they had jumped or took other means. Some were seen taking the help of wire and the exhaused fans outside the walls. Faruk sustained 90% burns and died at Dhaka Medical College Hospital. The wounded 100 are under treatment at this hospital, Kurmitola General Hospital and United Hospital. They got sick mainly for the inhalation of smoke. It may be mentioned that a person can die if exposed seriously to smoke for only 30 seconds. Public Works and Housing Minister SM Rezaul Karim today termed the deaths of Banani FR Tower fire victims as “murders”. “We clearly want to say that those who died in the fire incident were not the victims of any accident. Rather, they were murdered,” the minister told reporters after visiting the site this morning. The deaths of the fire victims have been termed as murders as they died due to the negligence of building owner, developer and others who were involved with the construction of the building, said the minister. If they are found guilty in probe, a criminal case will be filed against them, the minister said. “Housing and Public works ministry, City corporation and other ministries are investing the fire incident, he said adding, “We will make the report public. No reports will be concealed.” Meanwhile, Gono Forum President and Jatiya Oikyafront leader Dr Kamal Hossain visited the spot today and told reporters that the government should carry out proper investigation to identify the responsible persons.
