Watch the Thai nightclub fire frighten its goers, killing 14 and injuring 41 others

The Thais learned from their Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha Saturday morning that the fire that broke out at dawn last Friday in a casino, killed 5 women and 9 men, aged between 17 and 67, and injured 41 others who are being treated in two hospitals in the region.

And a video of terror and panic that erupted at dawn appeared in the Mountain B nightclub, located in the “Satahip” area, far away in Chonburi province, more than 150 kilometers from the capital, Bangkok. The club was devoured by the huge flames, while dozens of fire escaped, whose clothes and even their bodies were on fire.

The causes of the fire are still unknown, but the authorities reported that they had taken the owner of the club to the police station to question him about what happened. The Thai government also announced an inspection of the “structures and safety” of other entertainment sites “in order to prevent further fires”, while witnesses who were at the scene reported that strong flames were first seen on the ceiling of the nightclub, and then “rapidly spread” due to ” The “acoustic foam” characteristic of those places, and that the firefighters needed more than two hours to put out the fire due to the large number of flammable materials inside the building.

The bloody fire brought the memory back to the last and most severe thing, which broke out on New Year’s Eve 2009 in the “Santica” nightclub in the capital, Bangkok, where the flames accelerated and covered it completely in a few minutes, and then everything ended with a miserable outcome: 67 dead and hundreds of wounded and maimed, including foreigners.
