fire at Kelamayi(克拉玛依), Xin Jiang, China 1994

In December 8, 1994, an unpredented fire burned out at a theater hall of Kelamiyi. When the fire was first found, a muisc and dance show provided by local teachers and students was on the way for the government officials of communist educational committees. Instead of organizing the evacuation of the audience, one official asked all teachers and students to keep in seat until government officials had retreated. This order delayed the perish time for the survival of the audience. All exits of the hall were locked and side doors and windows were protected by iron bars. Firemen arrived from just hundred meters away, but with no tool to open the doors in time. As a result, over three hundred audience burned to death plus hundreds of injured, most of which were primitive shool students and their teachers. No high government official presented that day severely harmed although some of them received sentences up to six years. No memorial constructions were built after that despite the appealing of the victims and their relatives.
