Nearly 300 Dead After Pakistani Fire

Nearly three hundred people were killed when a clothing factory caught fire in Karachi, Pakistan.

Currently two hundred and eighty-nine people are listed amongst the dead, but that total is expected to rise as around five hundred suffered burns.

Others suffered smoke inhalation and various other injuries, witnesses even reported some jumped from the top of the building to escape the flames.

Firefighters had issues fighting the blaze as other parts of the structure were unstable, and there were worries of a collapse.

The blaze was finally brought under control, ending fears that it would spread through the city.
