An elderly woman and her daughter died after a fire broke out in an apartment on Bannergatta Road in Bengaluru's Devarachikkanahalli.
The two deceased women have been identified as Lakshmi Devi (82) and her daughter Bhagya Rekha (59).
The fire, that is believed to have started due to a gas cylinder explosion, originated on the third floor and spread up to the fourth floor of the five-storey building.
A video of one of the woman who died in the fire went viral on social media in which she can be seen trying to dodge the flames in her balcony.

Also knowing it will be a wildly painful fate at that. Just in the hope that an extra minute will be enough for real help to arrive. A dude with an angle grinder could have saved her too. Those bars are not super thick looking.

ahhh, yes, when watching the video i was kinda confused on why the whole balcony needed to be barricaded in that manner?
at least with an open balcony she could've had the chance to jump, even if led to another demise. (sadly)
also, i do agree with you, the bars looked very thin!

Although I am mostly desensitized watching people die here. This is the only time a video of someone dying made me sad.

I don't understand the full set of bars on the 4th or whatever floor this is. Who are they worried about climbing in those balconies?

The thieves, cos there have been incidents of house break-in even on as high as the 11th floor thieves/robbers are some crafty fuckers of human scums

This one's a classic. Poor old ladies never stood a chance I bet... Even if they'd ran through the flames.

Possibly the worst way to die. Reminds me of how Hindu women were burnt on their deceased husbands' funeral pyre during a forced ritual called Sati.

I remember this, fucking horrible. Why have the apartments/balconies caged in like that? Complete death trap, sheer stupidity on the part of the builders/management. Even if she was able to jump, she'd probably be impaled with all that rebar sticking up down there. Disgraceful.

That's an old vid but anyway, I always wondered why there's no emergency release from the inside of that cage. Ok they've made it against thieves but they could've made it with hinges so in need like that one you can open it from the inside. Also she could've try to run through the fire with her arm on her face. It's her home so she should be able to navigate without looking. Zero sense of self preservation basically.

Fire like that is hotter than fuck. Even if you could overcome your very human pain threshold, the air you breathe will scorch the insides of your lungs and kill you before you get to the door.
