Text Blog Entry Eight- An article about my country in the international newspaper.

The Police claimed that two people died in a fire in a 13 storey building in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh on February 27, 2007. 'The Telegraph' published this by its article. The first person died from jumping out of the building and the other from burning. The fires swept through the building very quickly as it had limited fire protection according to a fire chief.

Hundreds of people could not get out of the building. 2000 people usually work in the building, as it housed a number of media companies such as- ntv, Rtv (electronic media), The Amar Desh ( a leading newspaper in Bangladesh) .

Samaia Rahman, an ntv broadcaster, who was trapped inside the building claimed that several people had died for the fire engulfing the building. She added that dozens were injured as the fire spread through the electric lines within minutes. Many injured were being treated in local hospitals.
