Karachi Factory Fire – Worst Inferno of decades killed 289

September 11, 2012 proved to be a devastating day for Karachites as horrendous fire engulfed a garment factory located in Baldia Town.

The ruthless fire claimed 289 precious lives so far while death toll may rise as some of the wounded may succumb to their injuries.

Quite a few workers of the factory were injured as they jumped out of windows of the four-storey building in a bid to save their lives.

Fire Alrams, emergency exits, workplace safety, Fire safety drill; all of these terms are still not implemented in factories of Pakistan. Whoever is responsible for this negligence should be penalized rather than blaming only the owner of the factory.

From the following pictures you'll better understand the its worst condition. This is 9/11 for Pakistan a worst inferno.
