It was just another day for every Kolkatan except for the ones who were victims of a deadly fire that broke out at the 150-year odd Stephen Court building in Park Street. The landmark building houses popular eateries like Flurrys,Peter Cat and also our very own Music World. The fire was first noticed by passers by, some of whom were daring enough to rush to their rescue before the sluggish fire department arrived at the spot with inadequate measures to rescue the helpless people trapped on the 4th and 5th floor..it brought to light some of the most embarrassing things about the fire department..one being non-availability of 'skylifts' that are the most neccesary of equipments required to save victims in tall buildings..some of the bewildered and frightened people trapped in the fire dived from the high floor at god's mercy perhaps, thereby injuring themselves or ending their lives in a bid to save them. And bloody news channels, god knows why/how they can nurture thoughts of increasing their TRP ratings at this time, were busy claiming themselves to be the first ones to bring to us coverage of the tragic event which was allegedly ' more adventurous than a reality TV show!'..huh..
This video had been shot by a friend of mine who happened to be at that place.
The fire was allegedly caused due to a short circuit that occurred in the neglected electricity lines..
