Description
A huge fire ripped through a luxury hotel in a popular ski resort in northern Turkey before dawn on January 21, killing 76 people and injuring 51 others. Some survivors said no fire alarms went off nor were there any fire escapes at the Grand Kartal Hotel in Kartalkaya which lies 170 kilometres (100 miles) northwest of Ankara. The manager of a local ski school, Cevdet Can, who witnessed the tragic incident recalls seeing the hotel engulfed in flames and hearing screams from inside. "There were some people who threw themselves (from the windows)," he says. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
