Write a letter to your friend describing a fire accident
07/16/2019
Dear Friend,
I have received
your letter just now. In your letter, you have expressed your desire to know
about the fire accident that I have witnessed. Now I am writing you about it.
It was November 24, 2012. I witnessed a terrific fire accident that has
exceeded all the tragic events in my life. Still, I can hear the scream of the
victims of Tajreen Fashion. The fire broke out in this factory in Ashulia district. That day’s sky
was covered with the thick black smoke of Tajreen Fashion. At least 117 people were confirmed dead in the fire, and over 200 were
injured.
The fire,
presumably caused by a short circuit, started on the ground floor of
the nine-story factory, trapping the workers on the floors above. Because
of the large amount of fabric and yarn in the factory, the fire was able to
spread quickly to other floors, complicating firefighting operations. The fire
burned for more than seventeen hours before the firefighters were successful in
extinguishing it.
Most of the
victims were found on the second floor, where at least 69 bodies were
recovered. Twelve of the victims died leaping from windows in order to escape
the flames, some of whom died of other injuries after being taken to area
hospitals, but workers who had been able to escape to the roof of the building
were successfully rescued. As many workers had been unable to escape through
the narrow exits of the building, they embraced death.
A crowd made
up of thousands of relatives and onlookers gathered at the scene, causing army soldiers to be deployed to maintain order.
Many of the victims were unrecognizable because of the severity of the
burns.
I can’t resist
myself breaking down in tears. Pray for our nation so that they don’t have to
face this better taste of flame again. This kind of tragedy is not acceptable.
Convey my regards to your parents and love to your younger
brother.
Yours ever,
Abc
