UPDATE: Concerns have been raised about children being trapped inside Villaggio’s Gympanzee Nursery, but they appear to have been rescued:
Ok they are finally getting the kids out. Oh my god. #villagio
Two hours into the fire, it still does not appear to be contained.
Firefighters and other security personnel are working to contain the fire at Villagio. They have already evacuated all persons in the mall.
— MOI, Qatar (/-a-t-/MOI_QatarEn) May 28, 2012
Authorities are asking people not to “spread rumors as it will create panic among people.”
So far, one person has been transferred to Hamad Hospital for medical treatment, but his condition is unknown,
Firefighters have reached the main source of fire at Villagio and surrounded the area with all means to extinguish fire.

Yes BBoy there was a small ...Yes BBoy there was a small fire that broke out yesterday and the security staff put it out quickly. Today it happens again and quickly erupts into this huge fire. The strange thing though during the last three weeks, this is the second time that fire breaks out at this up market shopping mall. I think someone should get fired over this. Start with the mall Manager!

Indeed it's a darkest day in Qatar ...Inna lillahewa inna ilhey rajioun
May Allah bless those children, teachers and fire fighter personnels, who lost their lives in this fire
My deepest condolences goes to all the parents and close relatives of those who lost their children and family members.
Hope Qatar will Learn lesson from such tragedy and hold semi annual rehearsal on crisis management and disaster recovery in case of fire. Provide sufficient and effective measures to ensure not to repeat such incidence in future.

Thankfully I left Qatar ...So if a Qatari drives up Salwa road at 120kph at 06:00, hits an ex-pats car and kills him (the expat).. it's the will of Allah.... But an accident that kills Children is just an accident.. not the will of Allah?
Understood...
airwjo said
well said nethers, very well ...well said nethers, very well said
and do not forget the expat will be held responsible for the accident
why i am not wondering about this very sad tragedy in the villagio?
are there any really good safety standards? does anybody independently control it?
i feel sad for the families - my deepest condolences - paying the price for this mess.
and by the way, i am member of the fire brigade in my hometown, i am just amazed, according to the pictures i saw, fire fighters running around without any gloves or other protection gear........
