Why did it take so long to bring Turkish ski resort blaze under control? | DW News

At least 66 people have died and more than 50 others were injured in a fire at a hotel at a ski resort in northwestern Turkey.

The blaze broke out in the restaurant of the 12-story Grand Kartal hotel in the mountain-top resort of Kartalkaya at 3:27 a.m. local time (0027 GMT) on Tuesday.

Some of the victims are reported to have died after jumping from the building in panic, while local media also described guests trying to climb down from their rooms using bedsheets and blankets.
