I am not doubting that fire codes and safety measures are probably terrible in that part of the world, however I'm saying the cowardly, murderous actions of some teachers are very much to blame also, most likely.
No teachers died, and a senior fire officer said it was because they abandoned the children and ran from the burning school.
