General Forum: Society | | Lahore Tragedy (A Great Loss) | |
| When there was a loss of life condolences must who ever it was. Some look into communal and some into other angle. Basically it's an accident and common throughout the world and mainly in the cities.
The lesson to be learnt is Building Stability. In the past cities like Mumabi faced many accidents due to collapse of buildings.
I am surprized to know that last week more than 150 died in collision of three passenger trains.
Quetta Express was stopped for repairs at Sarhad station. Karachi Express collided the standing Quetta express from it's rare causing an accident and fall over to the side line. Tej Gaon Exprees coming in the opposite direction hit the derailed compartments at a speed of 120 Km. Villagers nearby who were rescuing the previous accident died in this collision.
We shoiuld learn from this incident where India transports 13 million passengers daily.

My deepest sympathies with the innocent people for their loss...I hope they were really gas cylinder explosions and someone is not making bombs in the building that caused the explosion...

LAHORE - At least 29 people, including two children and four women were killed, when a three-storey residential building collapsed, following a series of gas cylinder explosions in its basement here in Iqbal Town Fruit Mandi area in the wee hours on Tuesday.
The pre-dawn tragedy threw a pall of sadness in the entire locality as hundreds of people gathered at the scene, most of them crying. A large number of them, however, immediately started the rescue work, and were later joined by a team of experts.
Seven of the fatalities were from the same family and the condition of four of the injured was reported to be critical. At least 25 people including the children and women died on the spot, and four others in the emergency ward, Jinnah Hospital sources said.
All the dead were labourers, mostly vendors, belonging to suburban areas of the city. Eyewitnesses said more than 50 people were asleep in their apartment on the building's second storey when the tragic incident happened at 2.20 am.
may ALLAH bless all of the departed soul.
