Fire in Ho Chi Minh City disco kills 61 at International Trade Center
A blaze at the International Trade Center in Ho Chi Minh City killed 61 people and left many hospitalized. Welders at a disco on the building’s sixth floor may have started the fire with cutting torches while a wedding reception drew about 120 guests. Police weigh welding sparks and a possible gas leak as triggers. Among the dead are two Britons, a Vietnamese American, and a Croatian. About 100 American International Assurance agents were inside for training when the fire broke out.
