Awful Fire at Banilogo Church Kills Thousands
A catastrophic blaze at the Jesuit church in Banilogo on December 8 consumes the ornate high altar and roof. Amid the panic more than 2,000 people perish, most young women, with hundreds saved only by desperate crowds at the main exit. Foreign aid and local authorities face calls to demolish the ruin and honor the martyrs.
