One Year of AMRI Tragedy

Social activists and relatives of AMRI Hospital fire victims light candles on the main entrance of the hospital in memory of the deceased on its first anniversary in Kolkata, India, Sunday, Dec. 9, 2012. The private Indian hospital where dozens of people died in a massive fire had failed to update its safety procedures despite being ordered to do so months ago, officials said Saturday. Most of the victims died in their beds from inhaling noxious black smoke that filled the rooms and corridors of one of AMRI Hospital's three buildings after the fire broke out before dawn on Dec. 9, 2011 in the basement and medical staff fled the scene.
