''There was no way to get out': Witnesses describe how deadly inferno swept through Bangkok bar
Witnesses at a Bangkok bar have described a harrowing escape as a rapid inferno engulfed the venue during a live music performance. One musician reported crawling toward the exit before being thrown clear of the building by a sudden explosion.
Survivors of a deadly blaze at a Bangkok establishment have shared accounts of the chaotic moments when the venue was overtaken by flames. According to those present, the fire spread with such speed that many patrons found themselves trapped within seconds of the initial spark.
A musician performing at the time of the incident detailed his attempt to reach safety by crawling along the floor to avoid thick smoke. He recounted being propelled out of the bar onto the street when an unidentified object exploded inside the structure.
Emergency services arrived to find the building heavily damaged, while investigators look into the cause of the ignition and the lack of accessible exits. Witnesses noted that the interior became a bottleneck as crowds panicked while trying to flee the rapidly deteriorating conditions.
