[B]From a friend that helped in the incident :[/B]
[QUOTE]"They were spraying flammable powder all over, suddenly there was fire
and then the swimsuits were stuck to their skin.
I was lucky because I left there earlier because the powder gave me breathing problems,
I went to the showering room to take a shower, just as I was about to close the door suddenly a man with burned skin all over him asked me if he could take a shower first. I went outside to check what happened, a lot of people were screaming and people with burned skin were all over the area.
There was this girl with fire all over her, her boyfriend tried to put out the fire but only to get himself on fire too.
I started helping out, carrying the injured out along with other people, using life buoy (swimming ring),
I was carrying a girl out, the girl asked me if she became ugly, I told her "you're still beautiful".[/QUOTE]
What a great start of these people's summer vacation,
a lot of my female friends went there not a week ago, I'm glad they weren't involved
