YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A fire tore through a large banquet hall in Iraq on Wednesday, killing at least 114 people and injuring 150 who were celebrating a Christian wedding, authorities announced.

The fast-moving blaze burned the hall to the ground in Iraq’s predominantly Christian area of Hamdaniya in Nineveh province, authorities said.

The exterior walls of the event space were reportedly covered in highly flammable cladding that is illegal in the country, civil defense officials quoted by the state-run Iraqi News Agency said.

“The fire led to the collapse of parts of the hall as a result of the use of highly flammable, low-cost building materials that collapse within minutes when the fire breaks out,” civil defense said.

All that was left of the venue was charred metal and debris after the fire was put out.
