Guest Gunner Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Its not very far from my house in bangalore. I can't believe this has happened.
Guest Gunner Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 TGIF = Thank God It's Friday? Yes sach. They opened one on Airport Road, Bangalore in 1998.
cowboysfan Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 i remember eating there when it first opened,sad news.
Gunner_Mania Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Is this the one at Airport Road? I have been there. Used to stay very close to it and also I used to go to the Corner House Ice Cream shop in the same building every weekend. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bangalore/9-dead-in-major-fire-at-Bangalores-Carlton-Towers/articleshow/5608146.cms Thankfully Manipal Hospital is just across the road, so hopefully the affected people were taken care of quickly.
suma25 Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Scary part is people panicked initially and some of them jumped from the 3rd floor of the building.Another scary part is the fire department in most of the cities is totally ill prepared in dealing with fires in multi storey buildings This was just a seven storey building .
flamy Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 holy feck, i was there when i was in India :nervous: R.I.P.

It's the same with any of our emergency services.

Another scary part .. not sure how many buildings were constructed and are maintained as per the building code. Thats what hurt Haiti a lot.
CSK Fan Posted February 23, 2010 Author Posted February 23, 2010 Seems like the only people who died where the ones who jumped from the 6th and 7th stories in panic. RIP
ViruRulez Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 RIP It was in Carlton Towers as per news .. the news was flashing whole evening .. they did not mention TGIF however 9 feared dead and around 15 critically injured .. there was panic after the fire and people jumped off the building in panic as per eye witnesses in news channels
ViruRulez Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Scary part is people panicked initially and some of them jumped from the 3rd floor of the building.Another scary part is the fire department in most of the cities is totally ill prepared in dealing with fires in multi storey buildings This was just a seven storey building . they also said that there was no safety measures in the building .. the builders are going to be arrested (at least for now :winky:) as per news reports.. and they were also saying the Bangalore fire dept. is also less equipped and there was only a single high rescue-ladder vehicle and it was at a far off part of the city and so took time .. but yes people were saying panic was surely the main reason for the incident BTW it was mentioned as an office by the news channels .. I remember now .. TGIF was not where the fire occurred I suppose
Gunner_Mania Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 TGIF, Corner House and Bombay Post are at the ground floor of Carlton Towers.
Texy Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 they said retarded ppl blocked the road to take pictures? causing delayed time for emergency crew to get there! wow no rules, no official protocol nothing....
CSK Fan Posted February 24, 2010 Author Posted February 24, 2010 By the way TGIF itself is quiet safe. The ground floor wasnt affected
