People Jumping Out a Burning Building in Bangladesh

A huge fire broke out in a 22-storey building in the Bangladeshi capital of Dhaka on Thursday, killing at least 19 people and wounding 73, according to police.

Videos shared on social media on Thursday showed people attempting to escape the flames by edging down a precarious rope on the outside of the building.

Authorities said that six people died as a result of falling.

The FR Tower building, situated in the Banani district of Dhaka, reportedly consists of offices and a restaurant.

Several people trapped inside the building posted pictures to social media showing people covering their faces to escape the smoke-filled interior.

AFP reported people seeing others calling for help inside the building several hours after the blaze started.

Helicopters joined 22 firefighting units that worked with the army, navy, air force and police to battle the blaze as smoke billowed into the sky.

The causes of the deadly fire are unknown at this stage.

The blaze comes a month after a massive inferno killed 71 people in an old neighbourhood of the city.

Critics at the time blamed poor enforcement of safety regulations in one of the world's most densely packed cities.

He's probably a better person than you or I, seemed to genuinely personally care about what happened to some randoms just the same as if they were his own family. Especially refreshing to see in a developing country where life can be cheap. I feel guilty for even thinking of making fun of him lol

Genuinely personally caring about random people on the other side of the world whose situation is literally completely out of your control, seems like a waste of emotional energy better spent on things one actually CAN influence.

Other than social currency by way of implied virtue, or that ubiquitous “it’s what good people do” peer pressure, I don’t see advantages.

But I’m a cynical bastard, so...

I don’t NOT care...makes me grateful I woke up this morning. I have another day, they don’t, and it’s humbling.

And caring about some poor saps on the other side of the world, jumping out of a burning building makes me a better person............how, exactly?

Oh, that's right. It doesn't mean anything, positive or negative.
