"KAOHSIUNG, TAIWAN -- At least 46 people were killed and another 41 injured after a fire broke out early Thursday in a run-down mixed commercial and residential building in the Taiwanese port city of Kaohsiung, officials said.
Neighbourhood residents said the 13-storey building was home to many poor, elderly and disabled people and it wasn't clear how many of the 120 units were occupied.
Witnesses said they heard something that sounded like an explosion at about 3 a.m. when the blaze erupted in the building's lower floors, which housed a closed movie theater, abandoned restaurants and karaoke clubs."
Rather than think climate change and the corona virus as science, think of it as the wrath of God. Feel any better?
