Over 100 people have been killed and 200 more injured in massive fire at Hindu temple in India during fireworks display
2016-04-11
  • [DAILYMAIL.CO.UK] Huge fire broke out during fireworks display at Puttingal temple in Kerala

  • Hindu festival was taking place in Indian state when explosion took place

  • Believed a firework may have landed in storage area filled with firecrackers

  • Local official said around 102 people died, with more than 200 injured
'I stayed for a while with an old man near Umballa; anon with a household of my acquaintance in Umballa. With one of these I went as far as Delhi to the southward. That is a wondrous city. Then I drove a bullock for a teli [an oilman] coming north; but I heard of a great feast forward in Patiala, and thither went I in the company of a firework-maker. It was a great feast' (Kim rubbed his stomach). 'I saw Rajahs, and elephants with gold and silver trappings; and they lit all the fireworks at once, whereby eleven men were killed, my fire-work-maker among them, and I was blown across a tent but took no harm. Then I came back to the rel with a Sikh horseman, to whom I was groom for my bread; and so here.'

'Shabash!' said Mahbub Ali.

#1  India has a LOT of people. The birthrate will replace these dead in about a hour and a half ( maybe even faster). A week from now, no one will even notice these are gone.

The Hindus themselves will hardly care. Lots of other things are bigger problems to the average Hindu. The garbage is ten feet deep between here and the curb and you will have to climb over that before reaching the street.
Good luck on your next meal. But remember, its just your karma and everything is bird of Paradise fly up your nose otherwise.
