Another devastating update from Sunday’s fire disaster at a shopping and entertainment complex in the Siberian coal-mining city of Kemerovo, has thrown the Russian community into a sad state as authorities have confirmed that 41 children died in the fire.
The forty-one children were among the 64 people who died in the incident that turned a joyful moment for kids into a lifetime of sorrow for their parents. The inferno started on an upper floor of the Winter Cherry complex while many of the victims were at the cinema downstairs.
The deputy governor of the region, Vladimir Chernov claimed that the fire started in a children’s trampoline room. He said: “The preliminary suspicion is that a child had a cigarette lighter which ignited foam rubber in this trampoline room, and it erupted like gunpowder”.
