Yesterday, a fire in a bar in China killed at leats 26 people (from Forbes.com).

A fire at an unlicensed bar killed at least 26 people and injured 11 in a Chinese city near Hong Kong, news reports and a local official said Monday.

The fire broke out late Sunday in the bar in Zhongshan, a mainland city that abuts the former Portuguese colony of Macau west of Hong Kong, the official Xinhua News Agency said.

No details were given about how the fire started or why the patrons could not escape. If I see further details, I'll post them.
